Hello and welcome to the Cliveden Myspace. We are a historic site located at 6401 Germantown Avenue in Northwest Philadelphia. It is on our grounds where the Battle of Germantown was fought, where George Washington's Continental Army was sent scrambling back down Germantown Avenue, and where bullet scars and battle blood still survive today. We have also been the host to over 7 generations of Chew family, one of which was a Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice!
