Around a century ago Mister Peter AB Widener ordered the architect Horace Trumbauer to design and build the mansion. Over the course of three years, this masterpiece was built and became one of the biggest mansions in the continental United States. The construction cost was 8 million dollars, calculating inflation that would be around 260 million today. With 110 rooms, 55 bedrooms, 20 Bathrooms, 5 art galleries, and many more common rooms that serve very specific purposes, Lynnewood Hall was a dream come true for Peter, it was unlike any gilded age mansion built before its time. Later on, the Mansion fell into the hands of Peter his son Joseph, who was fascinated by everything French and let the mansion be redesigned into a French country estate. Lynnewood hall is almost 2 times bigger than the White House, having a total of roughly 100K Square feet, inside the mansion, we also find the longest residential enfilade in the United States and the finest French gardens found in America, comparable to the gardens of the castle of Versailles… Being the largest mansion in Pennsylvania, we can see that the Widener family was no ordinary family, they left an everlasting footprint on this area, to give a more in-depth story of the family Edward is going to dissect their family tree and also the famed link with the RMS Titanic. 0:00 - Intro Lynnewood Hall 1:25 - History of Lynnewood Hall estate 3:45 - History of Widener Family 10:15 - Start of the tour 11:25 - The Great Hall 15:00 - Reception Room 20:00 - BallRoom 25:40 - Conservatory/Loggia & Enfilade 26:30 - Ball Room & Parties 29:00 - The Raphael Gallery 31:55 - Servants Quarters & Kitchen & Volt 34:30 - Smoking Room 36:35 - Dining Room 37:30 - Breakfast Room 38:50 - Basement of Lynnewood Hall 44:00 - Tunnels of Lynnewood 46:15 - Men’s Lounge 47:25 - The Great Hall Galleries 49:20 - Layout of Lynnewood Hall Bedrooms 52:20 - Eleanor Pancoast’s Bedroom 53:00 - Peter A.
