But I am guessing the best time to come is in fall...

love that hint of fall and the windows are really beautiful. my favorite is YOU in the fairy mirror...
I love 'A Hint of Fall'!!!! I lived in the Glenside/Abington area for many years and had no idea this place existed ...
An interesting place to visit. It looks like the kind of place that you just don't know what you'll come upon. Gorgeous photo's and I agree with you, I think fall would be stunning.
Thanks for sharing ;D
Love the last pic!! Hurry up fall!! It does seem like it would be a lovely thing to be the mistress of such a manor......at least for a week or two. Love all the photos.
What a great place to explore!!
Beautiful grounds and buildings. I also bet mid spring with flowers in bloom would also be pretty.

Looks like a fabulous place that I would greatly enjoy. I need to find some new cool "old" places around here. I just need to get out and travel again. August has not been the best month.
Love places like that! Would love to see it in the Fall.
What a great place to explore. It's really stunning and nice to see that you have included yourself in the shots as well. Thank you for linking up with "Through My Lens"
