Strawberry Mansion - Philadelphia

Formerly known as "Summerville," the center section of Strawberry Mansion was built in the Federal style around 1790 by renowned lawyer Judge William Lewis, who drafted the first law in the United States abolishing slavery. The mansion's second owner, Judge Joseph Hemphill, added the Greek Revival wings during the 1820s.
