Historic Strawberry Mansion

Historic Strawberry Mansion is a summer home originally built for Judge William Lewis in 1789. It is located in East Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
The house was restored in 1926 by The Committee of 1926 for use as a historic house museum and place of hospitality.
==William Lewis==
William Lewis was born in 1751 in Edgemont, Pennsylvania to a Quaker family of Welsh ancestry. As a lawyer during revolutionary times, he consistently defended other Quakers against charges of treason after they refused to fight in battle or pay taxes. In doing so he participated in creating the foundations of Conscientious Objection.
Lewis was appointed to Federal Judicial positions by George Washington and also advised Alexander Hamilton on the first national bank. His most important achievement was his role in the drafting and passage of ''An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery''() in 1780. This legislation was the first legal action towards the abolition of slavery in the United States of America. Judge Lewis died peacefully at Strawberry Mansion, then called Summerville, at the age of 68.
