The house and its 4.3-acre lot are situated on Camp Hill and next to 22 acres of Wissahickon Valley Watershed open space. Other mansions built for the Philadelphia gentry dot Camp Hill. The design of the house is reminiscent in architectural style to many of the homes found near Rose Valley and Chestnut Hill. The exterior is Medieval inspired, with numerous arches, over hanging rooflines and the brick, stone, timber combination. Inside you find breath-taking details by master craftsman: extensive moldings, pocketed arched doors, built in cabinetry, detailed fireplace mantels, and hand hewn beamed ceilings, just to name a few. The rooms are all oversized with 15' ceilings, many graced with crown molding. There is a beautiful stained glass solarium. In 1976, the house underwent a $1 million renovation, restoring it to its fullest grandeur. The existing staircases and interior layout would make this property ideal to separate into 3 condominiums. A bonus structure is the original octagonal icehouse built into the side of the hill. The house is a Class II historic resource in Upper Dublin Township.
