- The Benjamin Loxley house was a house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania owned by a major of the same name who served in the Continental Army. The house is associated in history records as the place where Lydia Darragh, a Quaker Patriot, overheard secret British plans and passed them on the next day to General George Washington. Her efforts are believed to have saved the Continental Army from a surprise attack on December 4, 1777, from British General William Howe, who was occupying Philadelphia. The house had a covered balcony on its second story, which represented prestige and wealth. From here the English evangelist George Whitefield preached to large crowds in religious revivals. Nearby the structure was a famous spa that was well known for its high quality natural spring water. The house was located in an upscale neighborhood of wealthy citizens and high-ranking military officers. It was partially destroyed by a fire in 1851 and torn down little by little until completely gone by 1870. (en)
