Lemon Hill, Federal mansion in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States
The mansion features three oval parlors stacked vertically, with curved fireplace mantels and floor-length double-hung windows overlooking the Schuylkill River.
Philadelphia merchant Henry Pratt constructed Lemon Hill between 1799 and 1800 on 43 acres purchased from Robert Morris's former estate for $14,654.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art director Fiske Kimball and his wife Marie resided at Lemon Hill from 1926 to 1955, leading restoration efforts.
The Colonial Dames of America and Friends of Lemon Hill operate guided tours of the mansion, which contains period furnishings and architectural details.
The property earned its name from the lemon trees Henry Pratt cultivated in the greenhouse complex, which he opened to the public for an entrance fee.
