Like a great many motorists, I've enjoyed following the progress of the Red Rose Inn project in Jennersville over the past few weeks. Contractors are tearing down the various additions to the long-vacant historic inn, which is now owned by Penn Township. First the east side came off, then the north, then the west, revealing doors, lighting fixtures and construction details from various periods. The fireplace still had its chain-link screen intact, and a brown-print valence still hung on an interior window. For once, I actually didn't mind missing the light at the Route 796/Baltimore Pike intersection because there were so many interesting things going on at the corner.
The remaining portion of the inn is going to be turned into a community meeting room.
