This Quaker springhouse was built by J. Taylor in 1738 and sits along Parke Run in Downingtown, a stones throw from Downingtown Friends Meeting.  The enormous, ancient sycamore tree is now gone.  The artist has used a stylistic convention of the French 19th century Barbizon school, a peasant girl wearing a red scarf, as a color note but most importantly to give a sense of scale.
