Then and Now: Revealed

Last week I asked readers to identify a white manision-looking building that was located in the borough.

As always, several readers got the location right away.  Also, as always, thanks for reading and check back next week for another round of Then and Now.

Now, I'll let the readers share their knowledge with the world.

Star Thrower

Mayfield, 600 North New Street

A. Roy Smith

Mayfield was built between 1848 and 1851 for the wealthlly Pittsburgh Industrialist William Ebbs. The design has been attributed to Thomas U. Walter although documentation for this does not exist. Walter was active in West Chester through the 1840's, and was known for his Greek Revival designs ofwhich Mayfield is a prime example.

Wow, I got it right too. Didn't know all of the history Roy provided. Marcy Gregory used to live there. I remember doing wedding flowers there in the early 80's. Beautiful home.
