This meticulously restored example of Federal architecture and interior design is noted for its finally carved woodwork. Descendants of the original owner John Johnson 3d, who built the house between 1795 and 1798, lived here until 1938. Located on "the American side of the road" at the Battle of Germantown, Upsala provided an ideal location for General Washington's army to place their cannons for their attack on the British troops barricaded inside Cliveden, located across what is now Germantown Avenue.
