The grandest historic mansion in Pennsylvania can be found in Montgomery County, write Grant Suneson and John Harrington for Newsbreak.

24/7 Wall St. compiled a list of the most notable historic mansions in each state by using information from various historical societies, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places, and museums.

In Pennsylvania, that mansion is Lynnewood Hall in Elkins Park. The Gilded Age mansion was built in 1900. It was commissioned by Peter A. B. Widener and housed one of the most important private art collections of the Gilded Age.

Sadly the 70,000-square-foot residence has been sitting vacant and deteriorating for decades, but recent efforts by the Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation have given hope that the stunning mansion might be brought back to its former glory. The foundation purchased the estate earlier this year and has already started renovating the property.

And after not seeing any guests for a long time, the 110-room mansion hosted a high-fashion photo shoot last month as part of its rehabilitation.
