Stirling is an historic, American mansion that is located at 1120 Centre Avenue in Reading, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

[1] Built between 1890 and 1892, this historic residence is a three-story, twenty-four-room, Châteauesque-style dwelling that was designed by noted Philadelphia architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler Jr. (1845-1928).

Created for industrialist James Hervey Sternbergh (1834-1913), the owner of the American Steel & Iron Manufacturing Company, and his second wife,[2] it was named after Stirling Castle in Scotland and was built using squared granite ashlar.

[4] During the 1930s, Stirling served as the setting for high teas, salons and other society events that were hosted by James Sternbergh's widow.

[8][9] Among her beneficiaries and friends were American pianist Andre Watts[10] and Metropolitan Opera star Jerome Hines.
