Woodmont
Source

Woodmont is a mansion and hilltop estate located in Gladwyne, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This expansive property spans 72 acres and offers a unique glimpse into the history and architecture of the area. The mansion itself is a testament to the grandeur of the past, while the estate offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Design and History of Woodmont

The design of Woodmont is a testament to the architectural prowess of William Lightfoot Price, a Quaker architect who designed the mansion in 1891. The French Gothic style of the mansion was commissioned by Alan Wood, Jr., a steel magnate and former U.S. Congressman. This architectural style, combined with the history of its original owner, adds a layer of intrigue to the mansion.
