Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-25 00:00:00 Charles Drinnon Is a textbook, reads like a textbook. Dense, but lucid and well-structured.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-20 00:00:00 Guy Lap A good read for someone interested in Philadelphia history or women with jobs at the turn of the century. I would have liked more about their actual art (method, medium, technique), but their lives were unusual enough that the book was worthwhile even without that. Still, I couldn't help but feel that the story could have been more interesting in the hands of a different author. It wasn't dry, but it also wasn't inspired. I did try to find out what had happened to the Red Rose Inn. It was up for sale with 14 acres in 2004 as Red Rose Farm. Lower Merion Township listed the "Red Rose Farm Complex" at 1300 Mount Pleasant Rd. as a class 2 historical property in 2016, and the Lower Merion Conservancy had a notice in 2017 that they got a 45-acre conservation easement that includes the farm. When I look at 1300 Mount Pleasant Road in Villanova on a map/Zillow, though, I see only newer homes--though there is a Red Rose Lane. I may have to go snooping in person. Cogslea, on the other hand, is alive and well in Chestnut Hill, and even has its own historical marker honoring Violet Oakley.
