Oaks Cloister, Tudor mansion in Germantown, Philadelphia, United States.
Oaks Cloister displays intricate half-timbering, steeply pitched gable roofs, and a combination of Renaissance Revival and Craftsman architectural elements across its three stories.
Architect Joseph Miller Huston designed and constructed this residence between 1900 and 1927 while simultaneously working on the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building project.
The mansion incorporates architectural influences from multiple styles, including Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Neoclassical, reflecting early 20th-century American design preferences.
Located at 5829 Wissahickon Avenue, the restored mansion currently serves as a venue for meetings and events following its extensive renovation completed in 2012.
The ballroom features an imported hand-carved stone fireplace from France, discovered during the decade-long restoration process initiated by Dr. Russell Harris and John Casavecchia.
