This was the home in which Eleanor Elkins was raised. Her father was Mr. Elkins. She married George Widener and they moved to Lynnewood Hall. Sadly, George and their son Harry died on the Titanic. Eleanor survived. Beautiful Trumbauer home!

I cant help but think of when this was being built, that gentleman would have been overseeing its construction. A smile on his face as he saw his dream come to fruition, he would have strolled its yard, admiring its splendor. The home and the land would have bought so much happiness to many..... and now, it just brings wonder as to how one mans dream can fade away like this...

With all due respect,, most who watched this video don't realize what an undertaking it was to build such a magnificent home such as this. It was a painstaking love of craftsmanship by artisans practicing old world technique & someone with very deep pockets to see it financially through. As stated,, so much of this home was imported from Europe & that within itself was quite the chore communicating specific details of each & every piece through transcontinental communications such as telegram & wire service. The industrial magnates of yesteryear attempted to outdo one another with the splendor of such a home represented such as this one. They wanted their home to be the "premier home". This home is a historic masterpiece which probably doesn't get the noticed appreciation by local planning committees who almost consider it a large behemoth of blight at this point. They do this not unappreciative of it's actual splendor,, but with the realization there aren't too many modern day billionaires willing to live in this area today in such a monstrous home paying the maintenance & property taxation or simply living in an area where time has passed it by. This home is primarily 5 conjoined homes & the present owner with cooperation from local authorities should treat it as such,, possibly splitting the home,, subdividing it into 5 such separate units,, partitioned & sold off as 5 separate living quarters to well healed suitors willing to live side by side enjoying & touting it's historical significance. The home could easily be accessed by 4-5 such families once again becoming a vibrant part of the community. Instead,, it's my opinion local authorities are biding their time with the assumption the owner will eventually run out of money themselves caving to the ongoing expense of keeping up with a zero return home such as it is now & succumb to foreclosure tax liens. I find it a complete shame a home of this magnitude isn't justly studied to a plan invigorating it's long term usage. The community deserves better & if properly managed,, a showcase home such as this could actually bring in industry or higher business interests who could utilize or leverage such a home in their business model. There simply aren't any singular private individuals interested pursuing long term expense & ownership of a home this large,, the locals should form a committee to preserve & figure a way to utilize a property almost built to perennial specifications. The home with it's granite exterior & tiled roof is virtually forever,, someone just needs to figure out what to do with it next..

Gorgeous home. Wish you could go inside. We spent 12 minutes looking at the exterior of the house with repeating views. Great cinematography tho. I would not leave there. First off the property taxes are probably killer. The upkeep on the grounds would be crazy. The house is to massive to live in. Give me a 3,500 to 5,000 square foot crib and I'm good.

I loved your video!! I grew up in Elkins Park, and my life long friend, lived in a beautiful house only about two or three houses down from this mansion. I dont know if you are aware of this, but when I was growing up, the property was owned by a Christian religion. It was called the Faith Theological Seminary. That probably explains the chapel room with all the pews and Bibles. I envy you for being given permission to tour the site. Anyway, thanks for the great tour you put together! Great Job !!!

I watched many of your videos yesterday and enjoyed most of them. I just had to make a comment on this one because it made me so very sad. It amazes me that no one seems to care about this place. There has got to be a way that someone could save this jewel of a mansion. After watching your video I was prompted to do some research on the place and the beauty is unbelievable. I know that there is nothing that you can do about this, I just needed to vent. I would also like to say kuddos to you. I have been watching quite a few videos about urban exploring and I am impressed at how you shoot your videos and the things that you say. I like the fact that you don't judge past owners. You just look at the property and explain what you see. Please keep up your good work. And good luck on completing your newly acquired property. Very proud of you.

I am wondering how to tie it into the area for help. You would think some of the millionaires there today would want to live in a place like this. I do not get it. Thanks for showing the public.

This is Lori Bach. Definitely an "8-energy" influence here especially with the inside decor and external large blocks! Nothing but opulence and a "larger than life"/bold appearance. There is symmetry inside and outside so a "5-energy" is highly probable meaning, you can cut this mansion in half with an imaginary line and both the inside and outside are symmetrical/equal. Living right next door to the Titanic owner, what a coincidence! Awesome job Kyle, thank you!

It would take 2 weeks BUT I'd do it just for the summer, I would lose some major weight walking around this Concrete Compound, no doubt!

Take a group of investors pool their money to restore and maintain the property like they do at the Hearst Castle in California and the Biltmore Home in NC. They maintain it through tours, you can take so many tours on different parts of the estate. It's a great way to save these property for future generations.

Kyle...so glad you are showing Horace Traumbauers great designs!!! I grew up out in Oreland...use to drive to another Horace mansion as a teenager...gone now! Was once the largest home in America...more beautiful than the White House. Check out the private FB group...Fans of Whitemarsh Hall ....steeped with the history of Wm. Stitesbury’s Mansion!!!! I like your explorations .....makes me homesick for Philadelphia!!!!

Thank you for the history to go along with the footage. The history is what makes the video stand out from the rest. I would not want to live there.......the heating bill would drive me broke.

I just toured Meadowbrook Hall, the home of John Dodges widow. Then Gauklers Point, the home of Edsel Ford here in the Detroit area. Fortunately the families left the homes as museums, both well endowed and meticulously maintained. Hopefully someone can find some purpose for this home and be able to let the public view them!

Obviously someone must still be taking care of it since the lawn around the house looks as if it's been maintained. This is a truly beautiful estate !! I would love to live there just to help maintain the history of it.

All I can say is WOW! What an amazing place! I noticed the architect is the same one as the arson/fraud house. The front gate is awesome! Good job Kyle!

Maybe putting out visors like this might interest people who might be interested in buying it and other homes. It's a shame no one lives in them. Too beautiful to let go.

Love the music goes very well with the areal footage. I would re open the gallery and have weddings and lavish parties,(as done b4) prolly hella advertising to keep ppl coming and spend money to keep the place open. Hope security is hired to keep vandals out would be terribly sad to see another lavish mansion go to waste. Thanks Kyle for sharing.

I really enjoy watching your videos of abandoned houses and mansions. Although I really wouldn't be comfortable living in a mansion. Thank you for sharing this with us. Also thank you Kyle for not using foul language on your videos.

This is an AWESOME mansion and an awesome video! I don't like being negative, but let's face the facts. People who can afford to live in homes like this probably don't have any idea what it's like to be an ordinary person. Just saying. Thnx
