Joseph Sinnott Mansion
Joseph Sinnott Mansion, Renaissance Revival mansion in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, United States
The Joseph Sinnott Mansion features thirty-two rooms, six decorated chimneys, numerous dormer windows, turrets, and fifty-two carved limestone figures on its exterior walls.
Built between 1889 and 1891 for whiskey distiller Joseph Sinnott, the mansion cost $150,000 and later became the main building of Rosemont College in 1927.
The mansion's stained glass window displays the Sinnott family coat of arms with the motto 'Ama Deum et Serva Mandata' above the main staircase.
The building underwent complete system renovations in 1999, including updates to wiring, heating, and plumbing while maintaining its historical characteristics.
The mansion's Gaelic name 'Rathalla' translates to 'home of the chieftain on the highest hill' and reflects the owner's Irish heritage.
