Stotesbury Mansion

Trumbauer's renovations began in 1911 and included adding a ballroom at the back of the newer building while Joseph Duveen was tasked with refurnishing the house as a whole with mainly 18th century furniture. The total cost of the works came to $1.5 million. In 1921, the Stotesbury's - using Trumbauer and Duveen - completed their most famous home, the 147-room Whitemarsh Hall. Dividing their time between there, El Mirasol in Florida and Wingwood House at Bar Harbor they found themselves spending less and less time in Philadelphia and eventually sold their townhouse in 1926. The older half - No. 1925 - was demolished and replaced by the Chatham Apartment Building while H.P. McKean's half became the new home of the Philopatrian Literary Institute, as it remains today, and the Trumbauer ballroom now serves as a popular wedding and events venue.
