I enjoyed listening to your podcast on the First 20 Years of Laurel Hill. I am a descendant of George S. Pepper and I didn’t know the Pepper family plot was on the area where Fairy Hill stood. My grandfather had a painting of Fairy Hill which is now at the Old York Road Historical Society. I really enjoy listening to your podcasts and learn about Philadelphians!!
