Tour The Stunning English Manor That’s an American National Treasure

It is still one of the biggest and grandest homes in the U.S.

Today the National Historic Landmark sitegives tours of the elaborate 65 room mansion. Stan Hywet Hall remains largely as seen in these images. This gorgeous house with its leaded glass windows, libraries, lanterns, and incredible stonework is like something from a movie or an English fairy tale. Sparing no expense Seiberling had the house designed with an underground indoor swimming pool, an elevator, a wine cellar, and a reflecting pool.
