Upsala, Federal mansion in Mount Airy, Philadelphia, United States
The two-story mansion at 6430 Germantown Avenue features classic Federal architecture with Pennsylvania marble mantels and a freestanding third-floor staircase.
During the 1777 Battle of Germantown, American forces used the property grounds to position cannons for their attack on British troops across Germantown Avenue.
The mansion contains period furnishings including Sheraton, Hepplewhite, and English-style pieces that represent early American decorative preferences.
The current owners maintain preservation easements that protect both exterior elements and interior features while allowing the property to function as a private residence.
The mansion hosts annual Battle of Germantown reenactments on its front lawn, directly facing Cliveden, where the original conflict took place.
