Two guests at a recent wedding at the Glen Foerd Mansion of Philadelpia caught
in an almost candid pose. In the dark, they seemed almost gladended to be the
subject of this Photographer's lens and eye. Remote ettl flash used to control

About the Glen Foerd Mansion on the Delaware

As you walk from location to location, in season, you will see blooming crocus,
hyacinth, daffodil, tulip, forsythia, narcissus, andromeda, azalea, rhododendrum,
tulips, Virginia cowslip, and trees such as star magnolias, weeping Japanese cherries,
and black and white oaks that date back over 300 years. The three-story section of the
mansion was built as an Italianate house in the country, circa 1850, by Charles
Macalester. It was enlarged and transformed into an Edwardian country house by Robert
Foerderer in 1902-1903. The enclosure of the sunporch was completed in 1928. Listed on
the National Register of Historic Places, the mansion has an art gallery, pipe organ,
elaborate stained glass skylights, and a rathskellar. Also on the grounds is the boat
house which serves as a reminder of the prominence of river transportation until the
turn of the century and offers spectacular river vistas. Unfortunately vandalized by
fire in the 1980’s, restoration efforts are now underway at Glen Foerd to rebuild the
structure, replicating its original appearance and magnificence.
