Fun facts for history enthusiasts. Originally part of a 1694 land grant of more than 330 acres, becoming the estate of Governor Bradford during the civil war era. Later home to a prominent clipper ship family who built on Castlewood Road in the 1830s. In 1902, financier Douglas Gordon established it as his summer home with gardens and orchards before it was sold to the Bryn Mawr School in 1928. Today, that residence is known as The Gordon Building, and the surrounding land developed and aptly named The Orchards. Cultivate your existence. The art of uniting human and home.
