Cedar Grove Mansion, House museum in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States.

Cedar Grove Mansion exhibits Federal architecture with grey stone walls, balanced proportions, and a symmetrical design across its three floors and multiple rooms.

Elizabeth Coates Paschall initiated the construction of this rural retreat in 1748, which later underwent expansions by multiple generations of the Morris family.

The mansion contains original furniture and objects from the Morris family, representing the living standards of affluent Philadelphia residents in the 18th century.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art manages guided tours through the mansion, allowing visitors to explore the different rooms and their historical significance.

The entire mansion was relocated from its original Frankford location to Fairmount Park between 1926 and 1928 to ensure its preservation.
