Boal Mansion, Historic mansion in Boalsburg, Pennsylvania, US
The two-story stone house features Georgian architecture with a symmetrical five-bay facade and spans across 38 acres of landscaped grounds.
Originally constructed as a pioneer cabin in 1809, the mansion underwent significant expansion between 1898 and 1905 under Theodore Davis Boal's direction.
The mansion houses an extensive collection of family artifacts, including Napoleon's hair lock and Christopher Columbus's admiral desk within its museum space.
Visitors can explore the mansion through guided tours that showcase eight generations of Boal family history and architectural developments throughout different periods.
The property includes the 16th-century Columbus Chapel, transported from Spain in 1909, containing two pieces believed to be from the true cross of Jesus.
