Description
“Belfield” or “The Peale House” stands just south the Connelly Library. It is now used for the office of La Salle’s President. Partially built as early as c. 1708 (main house c. 1755) and owned by painter Charles Willson Peale from 1810-1826, the house was then lived in by the Wister Family and their descendants until La Salle purchased it in 1984. The painting displayed here is by former La Salle artist-in-residence James Hanes and shows the property in 1966.
