Andalusia, Greek Revival mansion in Bensalem Township, US.
The Andalusia estate extends across 225 acres along the Delaware River, featuring a mansion with massive white Doric columns and twin formal parlors.
Built in 1794 by John Craig, the estate underwent major transformations between 1834 and 1836 under financier Nicholas Biddle and architect Thomas U Walter.
