Designed by renowned Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer, the grand residence was built for prominent investment banker Edward T. Stotesbury and his wife, Eva. Today, Whitemarsh Village is a distinctive community of colorful mid-century homes set among reminders of the original estate, including towering stone columns, statuary, and other historic architectural remnants. Rich in local history and filled with mid-century character, quality craftsmanship, and modern updates, 8310 Childs Road offers a rare opportunity to call Whitemarsh Village home.
