It was built for James W. Paul by Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer, with construction from 1899 and completion in 1901.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the finest and best-preserved Tudor Revival mansions of the early 20th century on the Philadelphia Main Line, and the only surviving Tudor Revival work by Trumbauer in the region. Its architectural integrity, interior finishes and original fixtures are cited as setting it apart from other Main Line estates. It is also presented as a record of the estate lifestyle of the period and of the Paul, Dorrance and Munn families who owned it.","narrative":"Woodcrest is a three-story Tudor Revival mansion of about 47,000 square feet in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania, with coursed Conshohocken stone on the lower walls, half-timbering above, and many cross-gables. Horace Trumbauer designed it for James W. Paul, whose estate was built between 1899 and 1901 on 238 acres. Trumbauer returned in 1907 to enlarge the servants' wing and in 1914 to redesign the courtyard, turrets and interiors for the Munn family. The interior retains original paneled walls, a plaster coffered ceiling, parquet floors, a carved staircase and an iron chandelier in the two-story entry hall. The house is considered the only surviving Tudor Revival work by Trumbauer in the region, and its level of interior integrity sets it apart from other Main Line mansions of its era that were later converted to new uses.","period_of_significance":"1901-1914","architect_builder":"Horace Trumbauer (architect)","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used by Cabrini College as a campus building, with the college operating the mansion for offices, events and food service","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:10:27.121783-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/08001265.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001265/0da8f866bc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08001265/0da8f866bc-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"User:Smallbones on English Wikipedia.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CabriniWoodruff.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">User:Smallbones on English Wikipedia.</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CabriniWoodruff.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997906","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodcrest_(Radnor_Township,_Delaware_County,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8032536"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/delaware-county/woodcrest-08001265/"}
