An aerial view of the fountains and formal gardens at Edward T. Stotesbury's home in suburban Philadelphia. He was once one of the wealthiest men in America. A team of trained mechanics was employed to service the estate’s fleet of chauffeur-driven cars and 35 servants were said to have occupied the service wing of the mansion. A staff of groundskeepers trimmed the grounds of the then-325-acre property. Check out Whitemarsh Hall for a fascinating history of the man who donated the Stotesbury Cup and the mansion he built.

Whitemarsh Hall required a staff of 150 and in 1929, $1 million for annual upkeep. As long as someone was willing to finance the house and gardens, Whitemarsh Hall was beautiful and it’s future was secure. But Edward T. Stotesbury died at the age of 89 in 1938 and Mrs. Stotesbury soon closed the house and moved to Palm Beech, Florida. A long decline set in.
