Lynnewood Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lynnewood Hall is a 110-room mansion in Elkins Park, Montgomery County, considered the largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area.[1] It was designed by Horace Trumbauer for industrialist Peter A. B. Widener between 1898 and 1901.
Time Magazine published an account of a lavish party held at Lynnewood Hall in 1932.[2]
After having suffered general decline under the ownership of a religious group in the 1980s, Lynnewood Hall currently stands abandoned on 34 acres, waiting for an owner with the means to restore it.
