Lynnewood Hall, Neoclassical manor house in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, United States.

The limestone mansion features 110 rooms, including 55 bedrooms, a grand ballroom, swimming pool, wine cellars, and an electrical power plant.

Built between 1897 and 1899 by architect Horace Trumbauer for industrialist Peter Widener, who later lost his son and grandson in the Titanic disaster.

The estate contained one of the most significant art collections in American history, including works by Raphael, Rembrandt, El Greco, and van Dyck.

The Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation acquired the property in 2023 for 9 million dollars to restore it and open it to public visits.

The mansion's 1,000-guest ballroom was imported directly from an Italian palace and remains one of the largest residential ballrooms on the eastern seaboard.
