The Comly Rich House is a historic house in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, notable as the first home in the United States financed by a savings and loan association, the Oxford Provident Building Society, founded 1831. To buy the house, which cost $500, Rich, variously described as a lamplighter or a maker of combs, received a loan of $375 in April 1831 from the Oxford Provident Building Association, founded the same year. The two-and-a-half-story house, built around 1826, still stands at 4276 Orchard Street. It was listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1960. ==External links== *(History ) at the U.S. Treasury's Office of Thrift Supervision *(Listing and photographs ) at the Historic American Buildings Survey *(Listing ) at Philadelphia Architects and Buildings 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Comly Rich House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
