Strawberry Mansion, House museum in Fairmount Park, Pennsylvania, United States
The Federal-style mansion features a central structure with two wings, symmetrical windows, and classical details throughout its three-story elevation.
Judge William Lewis constructed this residence between 1783 and 1789, naming it Summerville before it became known as Strawberry Mansion in the mid-1800s.
The Committee of 1926 transformed the mansion into a museum, filling its rooms with period furnishings that represent late 18th-century American design.
The mansion opens its doors to visitors from February through December, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements and historical significance.
The property sits at one of Philadelphia's highest points, providing views of the Schuylkill River and serving as a summer residence for wealthy families.
