Tracker S01E03 "Springland"

[librarycompany]

On display now is this watercolor Plan of Springland, William Birch’s Pennsylvania country home near Neshaminy Creek in Bucks County.

Birch envisioned an impressive arrival for visitors to Springland. A path to a circular drive would lead guests arriving by water or land to the front of his residence and the adjacent “Green Lodge,” the building housing his extensive art collection. A grove of trees would surround his nearby painting studio. The plan incorporated practical features of a working rural residence, including a granary, hen house, and pig sty along with more picturesque elements such as “Neptune’s Garden” with a grotto.

Birch sold the property in 1805, continued to dwell on the grounds, and repurchased the estate in 1813.

See this painting and more on view in our main gallery as part of our current exhibition, William Birch, Ingenious Artist: His Life, His Philadelphia Views, and His Legacy, through October 19, 2018.
