Linden Hall ~ Dawson PA - a photo on Flickriver

            Sarah Cochran traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Orient. It was while she was visiting St. James Palace in London that the idea of the English Tudor Mansion was born. Construction of the Mansion was started on June 3,1911, and was dedicated on December 25,1913. When the house was built, the stone was quarried on the property. Mrs. Cochran brought 60 stonecutters from Italy and they hand-cut the stone for the house. Craftsman were brought from Europe to help with the baroque woodwork and interior designing. Many local craftsman also worked on the Mansion, which is profuse with marble, crystal, gold leaf, and sterling silver.
There is a hand-carved Aeolian Pipe Organ, with pipes in the Great Hall as well as the third floor, which creates a stereo sound effect.
The Linden Mansion cost over two million dollars when it was built, and much of the original furnishings were imported for Mrs. Cochran byJoseph Hornes of Pittsburgh. There are 35 rooms, 27 fireplaces, 13 bath and powder rooms, a finished white tiled basement with a game room complete with billiard tables and bowling alleys
