- Sitting on 35 acres in Elkins Park, Lynnewood Hall is a 110-room relic of the Gilded Age. A mansion where the wealthy, Widner Family displayed the work of the world’s greatest painters in five galleries. While the mansion, built in 1900, still holds its impressive size and architecture, most of the structure has fallen into disrepair.

Such monumental structure represents American’s true golden past in grandeur that the full restoration in respect its original architectural elements ( including its formal garden ) are essential for this place to radiant through history … with an efficient business plan to allow this place with economic success yet not to loose its elegance is highly possible ( top quality hospitality use, on going culture events for art and stately and global conferences … the possibilities are endless ). It also will add local tourism attraction and bring unforeseen businesses to boost local commerce. My heart goes for its triumph transformation !
well and rightly said💯👍👍✊
I want to visit it. Please make it a museum!
CANNOT BELIEEEEEEEEVE ANYONE bought this crumbling masterpiece!!! The mind races with the possibilities........I just hope and pray beyond description that it can be saved and truly, properly restored.
❤️ from Michigan! Thank you for covering this great story of preservation!!!.
Iam glad to see that it will be saved and have a new life and purpose
Good job a landmark like that deserves attention
I wish 🙏🏾 all the best on this endeavor, it’s great to see, please start a RUclips channel for restoration to help raise funds! I’m tired of seeing French château’s
Good to see they were able to buy it back from the property developer living in China, that abandoned it for years. Not sure restoring the gardens first and then restoring the interiors after, is the best way to attract paying visitors.... they might want to consider making RUclips videos, to share the restoration process and add historic stories about the property, and the furniture and art collections that were auctioned off.
It wasn’t a property developer in China. It was a Korean reverend living in Pennsylvania. The mansion was owned by a Christian church based in PA.

Please do save it❤❤❤❤
PHILADELPHIA IS A MIGHTY AND POWERFUL CITY INDEED! =)
It'll be great if that can happen.
Needs 200 mill
No it doesn`t.
More like 60 mil to really restore it.
@@Mitchellpilot909 Beauregard Quillen will have the money.
Bring the property brothers they would to restore this historical beauty back to is original grandeur
Imagine, garnering a vast fortune on the backs of hundreds of thousands of disposable people and now begging their descendants to pay to restore what the original owners clearly didn’t give a shlt about maintaining?
This preservation foundation need to be completely transparent. After all, this country doesn't need another Disney agenda.
What do you mean by "Disney agenda?"
Raze the edifice and build nice new townhouses.
Screw history and architecture, right? Let's bulldoze everything over 20 years old and replace it with an identical featureless box. This house is beautiful and a monument to a past era.
George Widener was an example of the Gilded Age on steroids. He and his son died on the Titanic. He was one of the richest people in the country at the time.
Been there, done that with Whitemarsh Hall in the 80’s.
@@yvonneplant9434 Yes but it`s his father Peter A.B. Widener who built this place. It was inaugurated in December 1899.
💩💩🤬🤬
Only a future Billionaire Beauregard Quillen could live there.
