John was the son of the original landowner, Gottleib. There doesn't seem to be info on who the actual architect was upon the historical information found on the current owner/seller's website. It is a massive, beautiful home and would make a perfect B&B for someone willing to take on that task.I had the pleasure of viewing the interior. Here is the link for more info, if you would like to take a look. http://www.donaldjweiss.com Alfred McCullough was the chief carpenter who worked on the home under the supervision of the owner John D Scheidt.

Do you know who the architect is? And what is the zoning? It's too bad that so many people want to turn it into a commercial propery, but maybe that's what the current zoning is?

I've lived in PA for this long and recall the asking price being 2.3 million at one time. It is now down to 1.1million, still not enough if you need about 500K to put into the start up of a B&B that won't make a lot of money. The grounds need a lot of work, I can only imagine what the other rooms not shown need. It has been on the market for at least 7 years.

Lewis Fri, 28 May 2010 04:03:02 +0000 http://oldhousetours.com/?p=225#comment-115 This is an interesting property. My undersdtanding is it has been on the market for 1+ years and has not moved. Therefore I have several questions: 1) What is the tax structure in PA for a property like this, 2)what is the potential for entering it into the national historic registry, 3)I=is it occupied now and if not, how long has it been unoccupied, 4)have any educational institutions expressed an interest in the property. Thank you. This is an interesting property. My undersdtanding is it has been on the market for 1+ years and has not moved.

When I hit the Powerball, it's mine! (I should buy a ticket!) I'll turn the garages into my woodworking shop turning out re-creations of fine furniture from this home's era, as well as works I've seen in various Dupont estates in the area.
