Inside the Gilded Age’s $300M Titanic tragedy house
Located in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania , about a 30-minute drive from Philadelphia, the historic Lynnewood Hall had a long and varied history before being abandoned, neglected and, as a result, falling into its current state of disrepair. This room was originally Peter Widener’s office and was later repurposed to be the office for the First Korean Church of New York.
In the early 2010s, during a period when it stood empty, it became a hot spot for urban explorers, who documented the damage done to the 70,000-square-foot space, construction of which cost approximately $8 million, the equivalent of $300 million in 2023.
