  • A Once-Only Opportunity for Growth and TRANSFORMATION
    WOODMERE and SAINT MICHAEL’S HALL A Once-Only Opportunity for Growth and TRANSFORMATION William R. Valerio, PhD The Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director & CEO May 14, 2021 WoodmereArtMuseum St. Michael’s Hall Located at at 9001 Germantown Avenue, Saint Michael’s Hall is an estate of four green acres at the center of the Wissahickon Watershed with a spectacular 17,000 square-foot mansion. It is for sale, and developers are very interested. A neighboring estate with similar historic features, it represents Woodmere Art Museum’s only opportunity to expand in the foreseeable future. St. Michael’s Hall Formerly the Harrison estate, the mansion has been a dormitory for the Sisters of St. Joseph since the 1920s. It is well maintained with a new roof, windows, and heating system. The last four Sisters to live in Satin Michael’s recently moved to new facilities. The Sisters are selling the property. In seeking to acquire Saint Michael’s Hall, Woodmere’s purpose is to create a Multicultural Collection Study Center: galleries in which 80% of the Museum’s collection is on view. Woodmere will donate easements on the open greenspace and façade, thereby preserving the mansion and the many histories embedded within its walls and on its grounds. Finances All in, this is a $9 million project. Woodmere has raised $3.5 million in pledges to date. • The asking price is $2.5 million. • $3 million is needed to endow annual carrying costs. • Renovation Cost: An early estimate was obtained, indicating $3.5 million to renovate the building to residential purposes.
