The Mercer Mile consists of three historic concrete buildings within a mile (1.6 km) of each other, built

by Henry Chapman Mercer near Doylestown, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The first to be built, starting

in 1908, was Fonthill, Mercer’s 44-room mansion. The second, the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works, was

and is a factory producing ornamental tiles for architectural and other purposes. The last and largest

structure, completed in 1916, was the Mercer Museum, built to house Mercer’s collection of more than

30,000 tools and objects from Early American and Native American society. The collection totals 50,000

objects today. Mercer acted as both architect and builder and his unique plans and bold construction

techniques made him a pioneer in the use of concrete. Built-in concrete furniture, concrete window

mullions, and concrete roofs and dovecotes are but a few of the remarkable details that Mercer incor-

porated. The published report includes two sets of 20 photographs each; the first covers Fonthill, Mercer’s

home; the second covers both the tile works and museum.
