Newtown Square was William Penn's first inland town west of Philadelphia. Old Newtown was friendly and kind with three Inns, the "Fox Chase", "The Square" and the third was where the Pike and North Newtown Road crossed. But it eventually sank and became replaced by a bank twelve years ago. William Dunwoody, a philanthropist, wanted to honor his father and mother. So he planned to make his childhood home into a place for the sick and needy. Construction was held up because of the Great War, but Dunwoody Home opened in 1924. |
