Central Bryn Mawr

The quiet country village was transformed in the 19th century by the construction of the paved Lancaster “turnpike” and various railroads, which facilitated nearby real estate speculation, including Frank Furness’ Bryn Mawr Hotel (now Baldwin School), several imposing churches, and the area’s characteristic large and comfortable houses. This tour will also explore the sylvan campus of Bryn Mawr College, including buildings by Addison Hutton, Cope & Stewardson, Mellor Meigs & Howe, and Louis Kahn.

Meet at the Outbound side of Bryn Mawr Station at 80 Morris Ave, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010.
