"William Rittenhouse first settled at Rosemont in 1719. The old stone tavern
was once the Rittenhouse homestead.
The original dwelling was built of logs. When the workmen were putting the
rafters on the stone house, the news came
of Braddock's defeat. The original name was Rettinghuysen and is so written
by William in his business transactions. >>
