Ravenhill (mansion)

Ravenhill is a Renaissance Revival mansion at 3480–90 School House Lane in the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia.

[1] Designed by architect Willis Gaylord Hale and completed in 1887, the suburban house was built for chemical manufacturer William Weightman.

His factory, Powers & Weightman's Chemical Works, was located less than a mile away, along the Schuylkill River, at School House Lane and Ridge Avenue.

Weightman developed dozens of blocks of Philadelphia real estate with middle class housing (designed by Hale).

[6] A stained glass window was added to Ravenhill, depicting the foundress of the Religious of the Assumption, Mother (now Saint) Marie Eugenie.
