Lynnewood Hall is a 110-room Neoclassical Revival mansion in Elkins Park, Montgomery County. Considered the largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, it was designed by Horace Trumbauer for industrialist Peter A. B. Widener between 1897 and 1900 and housed one of the most important Gilded Age private art collections of European master pieces and decorative arts assembled by Widener and his son Joseph.

My family and I (as Widener descendants) would love to restore Lynnewood Hall and turn it into a luxury hotel. That is a way that this beautiful building could be restored and yet still enjoyed by the public for the work of art that it is.

This should be on the national registry of historic properties and there should be a national drive to restore it. What a terrible waste as it is now!

5.Ted Green(non-registered)

I would love very much to restore this building and the grounds. It's a sin what they're doing to it.

Why not make it into a assisted living... Make it useful not just let it rot & decay
