Stained Glass from the Castle

The original stained glass inside 

St. Mary's Home... 

which is the local castle... 

has an interesting history! 

To learn more about the Lindenwold Castle, 

see this post. 

The Victorian ladies 

are featured in the stained glass windows 

adorning the dining room. 

The 'official' statement 

is that the ladies were copied off of dinner plates 

the Richard V. Mattison 

had imported. 

But the guide 

had a much more interesting 

theory. 

He believed one photo to be 

the first wife of Richard V. Mattison 

and the others to be his mistresses!  

In the absence of dinner plates as proof 

I am believing the second theory!  

haha! 

St. Mary's acquired the castle and has since added some 

additional stained glass.  

But nothing as interesting 

as Richard's ladies.

Lindenwold Terrace in Winter is a Ambler Treat

I have posted about this little street in Ambler before,

but this is my first collection of photos in winter.

The street is called Lindenwold Terrace - 

The mature trees and historic homes make it one of my

favorite spots in the neighborhood.

The 'castle' at St Mary's home has a rich history.

And below it the only shot you can get without trespassing. 

The wall along St Mary's Home is across the street from some beautiful homes.

This beauty is on the corner.

In the snow they remind me of Gingerbread Houses.
