ABOUT LINDEN HILL
The Linden Hill estate remains one of the most historic Main Line legacy properties. The renovations at Linden Hill represent a sensitive and innovative approach showing how significant places can be brought into the twentyfirst century without losing their magic. The current owner enhanced the existing estate to reflect modern living while maintaining the characterized spirit of the finest European manorial estates.
Constructed by architect Edmund B. Gilchrist from 1928 to 1931, the estate was originally built for stockbroker Rodman Ellison Griscom. In the 1950s, John T. Dorrance, the Campbell Soup chemist responsible for the conception of condensing soup, purchased the property and raised his family on the estate until the mid 1990s. The Linden Hill Estate spans 14,467± sq. ft., offering 8 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms, 4 half baths, a guest house, two pools, tennis courts and beautiful gardens. International architect Hugh Petter was commissioned to create the two residential parcels to maintain original integrity of the French Normandy styled estate.
