The Bergdoll Mansion is a historic house located in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Philadelphia. It was designed by architect James H. Windrim and built in 1886. It is in a Beaux Arts / Italianate style.
The mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The building was constructed as the home of the Louis Bergdoll family owners of the City Park Brewery. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, scion of the well known brewing family, was a playboy, aviator, and World War I draft dodger.[1] In 1920, Bergdoll was apprehended in the mansion by authorities searching for him due to his draft dodging.[2]
The 14000square feet mansion has eight bedrooms, nine bathrooms, two kitchens, mahogany woodwork, multiple fireplaces, frescoes, and mosaics. It was listed for sale in 2012 with an asking price of $6.9 million.[3]
The house was damaged by a fire in 1989.[4]
