Cedars House

This simple frame and stucco building was built in the late nineteenth century as a residence for the famous Andorra Nursery. Located along Forbidden Drive near Northwestern Avenue it helps tell the story of Andorra Nursery - a huge nursery operation that has since disappeared from the Wissahickon landscape.

The Friends of the Wissahickon and the Fairmount Park Commission are investigating converting the building into a visitor and trail information center for Wissahickon Park, so look for improvements in the near future.
