Former State Senator Vince Fumo’s storied 10,000-square-foot Philadelphia manor house — a property that played a role in the onetime political power broker’s downfall — could be yours.
. The historically-designated home was constructed in 1885 for 19th century clothing magnate Samuel B. Fleisher, according to a registry for the surrounding historic district.Along with six beds and 8.5 baths, the property boasts a wine cellar, elevator, roof deck, private shooting range, marble fireplaces, and a former ballroom converted into a “executive-sized” home office.
The home had been converted into a convent and then apartments by the time Fumo brought the Victorian in 1994, during his ascent to power in the Pennsylvania State Senate. The senator was indicted on a battery of corruption charges in 2007, includingthat he’d used senate aides as housekeepers and to supervise extensive renovations on the building, at a cost to taxpayers.
