Lynnewood Hall: A Gilded Age Mansion

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.
