High blood pressure is defined as having a systolic blood pressure of 140mm Hg or higher (top number) and/or diastolic pressure (bottom number) of 90mmHg or higher for most people. When the systolic pressure is 140 mm Hg or higher but the diastolic pressure remains below 90 mm Hg, the condition is known as isolated systolic hypertension. The study found that isolated systolic hypertension is the dominant form of uncontrolled high blood pressure in people over the age of 50.
Chinqua Penn Plantation is an English manor home mansion and national historic district near Reidsville, North Carolina in Rockingham County, (about 25 miles north of Greensboro, NC) and was built by Thomas Jefferson Penn (Jeff, 1875â1946) and Margaret Beatrice Shoellkopf Penn (Betsy, 1881â1965) in the 1920s.
The new house was probably the largest in Philadelphia, and larger than most of the suburban villas surrounding the city.

Mrs. Masters gave the bride the house as a wedding present. Washington's Residence, High Street. Lithograph by William L. Breton.
