Kemble and constructed by Stacey Reeves and sons. It sits on a corner lot high above the street grade.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an excellent example of brownstone Victorian architecture, with a carved facade, curving bays and intact Victorian interior decoration. It is said to reflect the financial and social position of wealthy late 19th-century industrialists. Its architect, James Windrim, is described as a major Philadelphia architect of the period.","narrative":"Built in 1890 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the three-story cut stone mansion was designed by James Windrim and constructed by Stacey Reeves and sons for William H. Kemble, who was Secretary of the Treasury for Pennsylvania. The four-bay facade has carved lintels, fluted Corinthian columns flanking a carved double door topped by a balcony, and an entablature with dentils and medallions. Curving bays on the side, one of them three stories high, break the symmetry of the front. Much of the interior survives, including hand-stencilled gold-leaf walls, carved woodwork, a ceiling painting and mantelpiece with cherub motifs, gas sconces and chandeliers, and stained glass in the side bays. The house is valued as a fine example of brownstone Victorian design and as a record of the taste of wealthy late 19th-century industrialists. Its site was once part of the Morrisville Estate owned by Robert Morris.","period_of_significance":"1886-1890","architect_builder":"James Windrim (architect); Stacey Reeves and sons (builder)","architectural_style":"Second Renaissance Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.312915-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/76001660.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001660/922ed9f12a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/76001660/922ed9f12a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jack Boucher","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kemble_Bergdol_2201_Green_St_(cropped).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Boucher</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kemble_Bergdol_2201_Green_St_(cropped).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997096","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergdoll_Mansion","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4891444"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/bergdoll-mansion-76001660/"}
