In a town tucked under the folds of Southern Chester County, there is history as rich as the fertile soil. Gideon Wickersham built himself a home that would amaze and intrigue people hundreds of years after he addedIn this home, hidden in the little township of East Marlborough, the unique woodwork and craftsmanship is just a facade for the history that lay inside its walls. Gideon Wickersham, the great-grandson of Thomas Wickersham built the Gideon Wickersham farmstead in 1818. Gideon utilized locally available schist and serpentine to create an exceptionally beautiful visual effect on the outside. It is obvious by the fine woodwork on the interior and the exterior that Gideon was a fine craftsman. In 1701, Thomas Wickersham settled in what is now East Marlborough.  

In 1700, he came to Southern Chester County from Sussex, England, with his second wife and four children from his first marriage.  He claimed 500 acres that he had purchased from Humphrey Killingbeck, a relative from his first marriage.  William Penn had granted 1,000 acres to Killingbeck in 1682. The Wickerskams were Quakers.  They brought with them certificates of membership from Horsham, England, and were probably the founders of Old Kennett Meeting. Gideon had begun to purchase land for himself in the area of his ancestor in 1799.  Written in that deed, Gideon was referred to as a "turner." Gideon was very close to his uncle, Enoch.  Enoch Wickersham has been referred to in deeds as a "joyner," new English spelling being “joiner,” and later as a "yeoman".  It is assumed that Gideon learned his woodworking skills from hisLiving until the age of 97, Enoch boarded his later years at Gideon's house. When Gideon died in 1848, the Gideon Wickersham farmstead was willed to two of his sons, Evan and Gideon Jr. as tenants-in-common.

Gideon Jr. acquired his brothers share in 1854, and maintained ownership of the property until his death in 1899. The house, with double doors, was a popular style exclusively in southeastern Pennsylvania.  This double door idea maximized every inch of living space.  One door typically led to a formal parlor, while the other led to a functional work area orThe double door plan worked well both in urban and rural settings.  The original house is measured 30' by 30' andIt is built of rough cut local stone, serpentine and schist.  These stones, used in equal proportion produce a very dramatic visual effect. The house went through many changes and many owners before it reached its final restoration.  Robert and Joan Galloway bought the house in the late 1950’s.  As the couple stripped away wallpaper and paint and pulled off a dilapidated Victorian wraparound porch, they uncovered the house, an architectural jewel.  The house was soon added to the National Register of Historic Places.
