Every house has a story, but few can boast a history as colorful and fascinating as the Bergdoll Mansion.
Nestled at 2201–2205 Green Street in Philadelphia’s charming Spring Garden neighborhood, this home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a portal to another time. Imagine waking up surrounded by intricate woodwork, hand-painted frescoes, and the whispers of history echoing through every hallway.
The Bergdoll Mansion is on the market for $6.5 million, offering you the chance to own a slice of Philadelphia’s past.
A Glimpse Into the Past
Built in 1886 by James H. Windrim, a celebrated architect of the era, this 14,000-square-foot mansion was crafted for the affluent Bergdoll family, known for their City Park Brewery.
But it’s not just the opulence of the Beaux Arts and Italianate styles that make this home special; it’s the stories that unfolded here. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, a daredevil aviator with a penchant for mischief, once called this place home. His infamous escapades—including evading the World War I draft—only add to the mansion’s mystique.
A Neighborhood Full of Charm
Living in the Bergdoll Mansion means being part of one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. Just steps from your front door, you’ll find The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Perfect for a Saturday morning outing or a late-night stroll on the iconic “Rocky Steps.”
