I have a super picture of the house if you need a copy. It's from Byways and Boulevards In and About Historic Philadelphia. The chapter that the picture is in is an itinerary of sightseeing in Philadelphia. Route Three - The Founding and Founders of Germantown - 19.9 m. No. 510- Main St., Thones Kunders House >From this home of one of the original settlers of Germantown came in 1688 the first public protest in America against slavery.

Yes Dee, the house on 5109 Main Street - My husband and I went there 5 to 6 yrs ago and it was gone - I was very unset that they would replace it with a drug store. There is a sign there which says: FIRST PROTEST AGAINST SLAVERY Here in 1688, at the home of Tunes Sunders, an eloquent protest was written by a group of German Quakers. Signed by Pastries and three others, it preceded by 92 years Pennsylvania's passage of the nation's first state abolition law.
