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.[1] Weightman was popularly known as the "Quinine King" and "the richest man in Pennsylvania."[2]

For much of the 20th century, the mansion housed Ravenhill Academy, a Catholic private school for girls. It is now part of the East Falls campus of Thomas Jefferson University.
