Ravenhill, Renaissance Revival mansion in East Falls, Philadelphia, United States.
The mansion at 3480-90 School House Lane features elegant stone construction with intricate architectural details and overlooks both Wissahickon Valley and East Falls.
Architect Willis Gaylord Hale designed this residence in 1887 for William Weightman, a chemical manufacturer who gained fortune through synthetic quinine production.
The property transformed from a private residence to Ravenhill Academy, an educational institution where future Princess Grace Kelly received her education.
The building currently serves as administrative and faculty offices for the School of General Studies at Thomas Jefferson University following a 2017 merger.
The original estate included 27 acres of land containing rare and exotic plants, reflecting William Weightman's interest in horticulture.
