Thank you all for the views, comments and favs! It really is a beautifully designed home- several generations of the Pinchot family lived here, the most notable being Gifford Pinchot, who was governor of Pennsylvania twice and is credited with founding the U. S. Forest service.
@grammyn Yes, we often get the three "h's"- hot, humid and hazy.
@louannwarren They do have some of the construction pictures on display- quite interesting. The building itself was modeled after a French chateau- with an American twist of course. In fact there is a bust of Lafayette in a niche at the back of the house.
@bjywamer No, not far at all, although some may consider 45 minutes far but to get to it you drive through some beautiful park land.
