The property that eventually became Cedar Lawn was left to Samuel's son, Thornton Washington, who built "Berry Hill", named for his wife's family.

Berry Hill was destroyed by fire, and John Thornton Augustine built Cedar Lawn when he inherited.

[2] In the 1940s, the house was bought by R.J. Funkhouser, an industrialist who had a taste for Washington family estates, who also owned Blakeley and Claymont Court.

Cedar Lawn was built shortly after Claymont Court, using a plan and elevations similar to Hazelfield, adapted with a hipped roof.
