Lynnewood hall is one of the biggest gilded-age mansions in the United States.
Around a century ago Mister Peter AB Widener ordered the architect Horace Trumbauer to design and build the mansion. Over the course of three years, this masterpiece was built and became one of the biggest mansions in the continental United States. The construction cost was 8 million dollars, calculating inflation that would be around 260 million today. With 110 rooms, 55 bedrooms, 20 Bathrooms, 5 art galleries, and many more common rooms that serve very specific purposes, Lynnewood Hall was a dream come true for Peter, it was unlike any gilded age mansion built before its time. Later on, the Mansion fell into the hands of Peter his son Joseph, who was fascinated by everything French and let the mansion be redesigned into a French country estate. Lynnewood hall is almost 2 times bigger than the White House, having a total of roughly 100K Square feet, inside the mansion, we also find the longest residential enfilade in the United States and the finest French gardens found in America, comparable to the gardens of the castle of Versailles… Being the largest mansion in Pennsylvania, we can see that the Widener family was no ordinary family, they left an everlasting footprint on this area, to give a more in-depth story of the family Edward is going to dissect their family tree and also the famed link with the RMS Titanic.

Aristocratic white elephant. Let it go.
Very nice and beautiful sofisticase where is the furniture and Art picture 😮😮❤❤
When you have feet, divide by 3, so 45-50 feet would be 15 m(not 10). Also for areas, divide square feet by 10(roughly – for more precision, extract then another 5%) and you get the square meters. For example, 1000 sqft would be roughly 100 sqm and then -5% and you get 95 m(93m to be exact). Of course, for the americans, multiply by 3 to get feet and by 10 to get sqft. Too bad USA is still keeping this retrograde and backwards measurement system. Even the UK, which invented it, quit using it since the 1970s. I wonder where the world would be if every country, region or province kept its local measurement systems instead of switching to Metric(/InternationalSystem) starting with the early 1800s in France.

Thank you so much for your in-depth look at this beautiful mansion! I loved seeing the old pictures of what the place used to look like. if they could restore the main floor and some of the owners rooms and galleries and open it for tours like the biltmore does, they would make money hand over fist to continue to restore it and open up more rooms as they do, just like the biltmore did.
This has to be made into an interactive museum. They should host Gilded Age balls for the public to enjoy.
Tartarian architecture. Millennial reign of christ.
Cool older style mansion. I want live in
Would have loved to see this grand place back in the day, with all the furnishings and art.
You do such a nice job on presenting these places. You have a great passion for what you do. Have a wonderful day.
If you buy the place and restore it I wonder if you would be able to buy the artwork back 🤔
Thank You from video. I've been watch video two times now. What a or the place.
Out of all the things the gov could do with our tax payers money, if they won’t give us proper education at least keep places like this alive!! Or something!
This is what happens with bad property taxes. The people who lived in homes like these eventually could not afford to live in their own homes. It happened in Britain and it happened here. Never mind that these places formerly hired dozens of people and provided income to communities. Very sad. Revise the tax codes that force people out of their homes, big and small.
