The building was enlarged later, but the old walls, built in 1831, still stood until a few days ago. The property was purchased from Charles W. Starr in 1831 by Daniel Wiggins.

A small brick building was erected on the lot and John Wiggins, son of Daniel, lived in it for two years. In 1833 the building was turn-, ed Into a piow 6how, operated by Bard Synix, a firm that was prominently connected with the early development of Richmond.

The heirs claim that Peggowned 350 acres of land in what is now the heart of Philadelphia, on a land-grant from the lieutenant governor of the colony of New York, which was later confirmed by letters-patent from the first Governor of Pennsylvania, William Penn. The heirs believe they can prove title to the ground, which tt is declared was leased to the city of Philadlphia by Daniel Pegg, the third of ths line.
