ELk'.'.PA,I HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY $- LYNNEWOOD HALL HABS No. PA-6146 Location: 920 Spring Avenue, Elkins Park, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. Significance: Lynnewood Hall, designed by famed Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer in 1898, survives as one of the finest country houses in the Philadelphia area. The 110-room mansion was built for street-car magnate P.A.B. Widener to house his growing family and art collection which would later become internationally renowned. 1 The vast scale and lavish interiors exemplify the remnants of an age when Philadelphia's self-made millionaire industrialists flourished and built their mansions in Cheltenham, apart from the Main Line's old society. Description: Lynnewood Hall is a two-story, seventeen-bay Classical Revival mansion that overlooks a terraced lawn to the south. The house is constructed of limestone and is raised one­ half story on a stone base that forms a terrace around the perimeter of the building. The mansion is a "T" plan with the front facade forming the cross arm of the "T". Enclosed semi­ circular loggias extend from the east and west ends of the cross arm and a three-story wing forms the leg of the 'T' to the north. The most imposing exterior feature is the full-height, five-bay Corinthian portico with a stone staircase and a monumental pediment.

  • Widener Family Fortune
    Widener Family Fortune The pictured mausoleum is now the residence of all the heirs to the original Widener Family fortune. In 2006 Eugene Fitzgerald Dixon, Jr. passed away and with him the direct descendants of the 27th richest American ever. The Widener family according to Scott Winslow is ranked above Bill Gates and Warren Buffett in the wealth department. Winslow looks at overall wealth as compared to the GNP. The Widener family's riches equaled 1/387th of the GNP at the time Peter A.B. Widener was alive. This measure in my opinion is the single best way to compare wealth over different generations and time periods. The top folks on this list are John D. Rockefeller by far along with Cornelius Vanderbilt. The Widener Family Patriarch Peter Arrell Brown Widener made his first business venture during the Civil War. He invested in providing meat to the Union Army during the way. This was a risky investment at the time because it was not clear if the Union Army would be able to pay its bills and sustain its economy if the south won and became its own country. As history would show the investment was a good one, the Union won the war and Peter Widener made a great the investment that would launch an empire that would span well into the 20th and 21st Century. Peter continued to invest his money in interesting and innovative business ventures. His most profitable turned out to be Philadelphia Traction Company which pioneered public transportation, and to this day makes royalties on patents it owns.
