Although this photograph shows a large, Georgian-revival structure, the
Biddle-Marsden House has been altered and expanded over the years: 
1911, 1912 (Charles Barton Keen, architect), 1922, 1926, 1927, 1948,
1959, 1968 (Samuel Schneidman, architect), 1974 and 1975.  In 1977,
it became the Chestnut Hill Health Care Women's Center.  It is now
owned by the Chestnut Hill Hospital.
