Summerseat was built in the 1770s for Thomas Barclay, a Philadelphia merchant, and acquired by George Clymer in 1806. The two-story brick and stone Georgian structure is built over an elevated basement. The house was restored in 1931 and renovated for use as a school administrative building in 1935. The walls, floor and some of the woodwork appear to be original. The building is in good condition and is still used for educational purposes.
