Post Revolutionary War

Instead of muskets, the Industrial Revolution was marked by mechanization. And like the nation’s first revolution, it changed the way we lived. Mass-production enabled even lower- and middle-class Philadelphians to indulge in the over-the-top architecture and décor of the Victorian era. The Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion and the Grange Estate preserve the curlicues and furbelows that defined 19th century design and highlight the disparity between upstairs gentry and downstairs servants.
