Lynnewood Hall: A Gilded Age Mansion

- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2025
- The Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation recently acquired the building and is planning on restoring the hall to its former glory. Just this past week they started a fund-raising campaign to get enough money to remediate the asbestos throughout the mansion. After this is complete, they plan to bring in master craftsmen from around the world to both repair and also educate the public about their trades. The project is expected to last anywhere from 15-20 years. The site is currently still private property and they do not permit anyone from the public to try and visit.
The Mansion was built by Peter A. B. Widener between 1897 and 1900 as a private family residence. The home was last occupied by his son, Joseph Widener until his passing in 1943.

I am SO glad to know it is being restored. We used to live on Washington Lane just outside of Jenkintown and our family's longtime maid (going back to the early 1900's) and baby sitter lived a few blocks away from Lynnewood Hall and I saw it everytime I went to her house to visit or take my daughter there too.
Thank god they are going to restore Lynnewood Hall. Such a beautiful tressure.
Thank goodness this beautiful building is getting the love and care it deserves. 🎉
...the same thing happened here on Long Island with OHEKA Castle...it has the distinction of being the second largest house in the United States at 110,000 Square ft. only behind the Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC
...it had fallen into disrepair for many years and then was restored about 30 years ago...now it is thriving again as a hotel, restaurant and catering hall
...and I hope Lynnwood hall will have the same kind of success
I’m so glad this is going to be restored. It’s such an incredible building.
Wow, amazing restoration!
It looks like they reopened the skylight ceiling in the grand entry foyer! ❤️🙏
I thought this was for sale?
