Hetzel, Henry W., 1872-1951.

Educator, craftsman; Philadelphia and Rose Valley, Pa.

Hetzel was among the earliest residents of Rose Valley, an experimental utopian arts and crafts community. William Price gave Hetzel the architectural plan for a home as a wedding present. Hetzel and his wife, Mary McKinsty, built the house in 1902 or 1903. Hetzel taught mechanical drawing in Philadelphia schools, using the shop at Rose Valley in his spare time to build furniture. Hetzel, who was committed to the single tax movement, later moved to Arden, Del.
