The Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in Burlington stands on Riverbank Street. The street runs along the Delaware River, overlooking Pennsylvania and Philadelphia on the other side.
It stands at the site of a manor house known as Green Bank in the 1700's. (The house was demolished in 1873. [5])
From 1763 to 1774, Green Bank was the estate of the Royal Governor of New Jersey, William Franklin.
After Franklin left, a Quaker widow named Margaret Morris lived at this house with her extended family. Margaret left a diary which told of her first-hand experiences with the impact of the war in Burlington.
