  • Lynnewood Hall is a 110-room Neoclassical Revival mansion in Elkins Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Currently undergoing renovations after sitting nearly vacant for years, it was designed by architect Horace Trumbauer for industrialist Peter A. B. Widener and built between 1897 and 1900. Considered the largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the Philadelphia area, it housed one of the most important Gilded Age private art collections of European masterpieces and decorative arts, which had been assembled by Widener and his younger son, Joseph E. Widener.

    My parents lived in one of the upstairs rooms in the mid-sixties. My dad was attending the seminary there. Later he worked there in the 80s and my sister had her wedding reception there in 1988.

    The room before the room you called a morgue was the Butler’s pantry and the room you called the morgue was actually a room full of safes. If you haven’t read their post, it’s the only room that did not appear on the floor plans for the building.

    • @chrissarles1686

      Safes with no locks? and a pantry is generally near the kitchen. This was halfway down the stairs with same door other side of stairs locked. Most likely those rooms were storage for the massive and always changing art collection And rare books

    I hope I’m wrong but the devious mind of a developer will go to any links that refrigerator could be left on with the door wide open so that it’ll overheat and start a fire. I hope that isn’t his endgame, but someone should really unplug the refrigerator.

      Correct, probably switched over to a library in roughly the sixties. My parents moved into one of the rooms in 1963. When I was there visiting was the 80s.

    It would be great if Mr. Elon Musk would take this mansion under his wings and restore it to its former glory. The space could function as a recreation place for employees, as well as a seminar space. And in a way, it would meet the two peaks of their time, pioneers of intercontinental shipping and interplanetary travel careers. I really believe that Elon Musk would make this place one of the most desirable destinations in the world. Mr. Musk, breathe life back into this place..

    Just a suggestion- perhaps put some sort of disclaimer that since the video was shot the building now has video security and several people have been arrested. Maybe then they might let you keep it up. Or a link to the Lynnwood Hall Preservation Foundation

    Philadelphia was always a big high school and college basketball town in the mid-to-late 20th century.
    In 1953 Jack Weisman lead the Yeadon high school basketball team to a state championship.
    After his graduation he went and played at Villanova, one of the city's "big five" colleges.
    Thanks for the video!
