Historic Penns Grove

The Leap Homestead was built in 1873 by David D. Leap. It housed both his personal residence and his men’s clothier business. The clothier business was founded by John P. Leap in 1840 across the street as a general store. The Leap family held the distinction of being the oldest men’s clothing store in the United States operated by a descendant of the founder. Unfortunately, the Leap Homestead was razed in February 2018.

New Restoration

Raymond Haldeman a well-known restaurant designer purchased the property in January of 2020. The Victorian was built 1889 and was in great disrepair and restored the property in 5 months and it is now known as the Haldeman Estate. The property was recently chosen by the Philadelphia Magazine as one of the top 5 homes in the Delaware Valley.

Stormwater is rainwater or melting snow that doesn’t soak into the ground and instead flows over land, picking up pollutants and eventually reaching waterways. It’s a natural process, but development increases stormwater runoff and pollution. Understanding stormwater helps us manage it to protect our environment and water resources.
