Nice website about a bygone era...

[hba]

It is about the former Stotesbury Estates, in its time one of the largest houses built in the U.S.
Edward Stotesbury built it for his second wife, and boy did this man do a good job on taking care of her...
Hope you like it,

best, Herman

"Edward Townsend Stotesbury was the head "the resident senior partner" of Philadelphia’s most, famous and prestigious, banking house, Drexel & Company. He was also senior partner of J.P. Morgan & Company in New York. Stotesbury, the very model of success his income for 1919 was $5,585,000, and he was known to be "the richest man at Morgan’s" by 1927 when his wealth reached $100,000,000. One may question the quality of his intelligence, he never read a book, but as has been noted, he had a remarkably keen mind for the complexities of finance."
