Before and after picture of 560 West DeKalb Pike. The house was built by Billy Walker for Dr. Church. From 1956 until Spring 2013, when the building was demolished to make way for the expansion of the Burger King franchise, the house was the site of the King of Prussia Veterinary Hospital. (The veterinary hospital has moved to Beidler Road in King of Prussia.) The stone from a quarry Billy Walker owned at Abrams was used to build the house and Billy Walker had it built for $9,000.00 by an Amish stone mason from the Lancaster area.
