Wolley Stille, Colonial Revival building in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, US.
Wolley Stille is a two-story fieldstone building in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, that blends traditional Swedish and English Colonial architecture. The property features enlarged dormer windows and service wings spread across approximately one acre of land.
The building was constructed between 1692 and 1700, with an additional two-story structure added in 1751. Architect Donald Robb undertook extensive restoration work in 1916 to preserve the original construction methods and materials.
The Great Hall of Wolley Stille represents early American domestic architecture through its design elements and construction methods from the Colonial period.
The property is privately owned, so visitors should arrange access in advance before planning a visit. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places from 1980 governs all preservation requirements and protection measures.
The construction blends Swedish building techniques with English design, a rare combination in the American colonies during this period. This mixing of two different European building styles reflects the diverse settlement patterns in the region.
