" It was located in a small town called Wyndmoor, in Springfield Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. (The "Whitemarsh Valley" you spoke of, I am not familiar with.)<br /><br />The Stotesbury Mansion (as we locals called it) was a wondrous place that I had the extraordinary good fortune of knowing from about 1955 through 1958 when I was a child. My father built a house on Delphine Road, which was directly adjacent to the Stotesbury estate. As soon as I could walk, I'd accompany my sisters as we would <br />run through the woods behind our house to exit on the other side into the Formal Gardens of Whitemarsh Hall. The place emanated a type of "magic" that was so palpable you could feel it; I used to pretend I lived there! With the advent of the Internet, I learned that it was demolished in 1980, and I was devastated.<br /> <br />Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the days I spent playing there, and the place haunts me still.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167327700948360305noreply@blogger.com
