Lynnewood Hall

An abandoned vintage bathroom with a bathtub, a toilet, a sink, and a mirrored cabinet, all showing signs of wear and peeling paint.

Lynnewood Hall, a massive 110 room mansion spanning 34 acres, is located in Elkins Park, PA (right where I grew up!). On the way to swim at camp, we would pass this overgrown scene. It was a thrill to be able to go!

This opportunity was a gift from Aileen Picone, thank you!
