Description
Rear view of Robert G. Woodside's home known as the Stone Mansion (1935) as seen from Wexford-Bayne Road. Located in Franklin Park Borough, Allegheny County, PA. Designed with a nod to Woodside's Scotch-Irish ancestry, the distinctive U-shaped dwelling was built to resemble three stone cottages standing end to end. Elegant interiors from Pittsburgh mansions set for demolition were carefully moved to the home where they were restored to their former grandeur. Seven decorative mantels, including a twenty foot carved stone fireplace from France, are featured in the three leveled structure along with several stained glass windows and carved mahongany paneling. The building was later converted into a restaurant and is currently charted to become a funeral home. Photo shows the back of the house and a bulldozer working on the back yard.
