the sedgeley property also included a servant's cottage (the porter's house), designed by latrobe, which still exists. though latrobe spent nearly a decade in philadelphia, designing numerous buildings, the sedgeley cottage is the only building of his that remains in philadelphia. for more than a century, the porter's house was used by the park guard and served as a jail. it was rescued from demolition and converted to office space in the 1990s by the fairmount park historic preservation trust and is currently occupied by outward bound.
