The recorded story

The Edwin Forrest House (also known as the Gaul-Forrest House) is an historic house and arts building located at 1346 North Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built between 1853 and 1854, it was home, from 1880 until 1960, to the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, at one time one of the nation's largest art schools for women. The house was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1993.
