About this project
Whitemarsh Township is splitting its roughly 10-acre Abolition Hall property at 4006 Butler Pike into two lots. The new lot, about half an acre fronting the unpaved private Marple Lane, is planned for sale, and the larger remainder keeps the historic Abolition Hall and Hovenden House and stays with the Township. No homes or buildings are proposed, and the county recommends securing a public access easement along the new lot's edge.
