Cedar Crest (Gladwyne, Pennsylvania)
Cedar Crest (Gladwyne, Pennsylvania) – originally known as "Dolobran II," and recently as "Linden Hill" – is a French-Norman-style mansion and estate at 1543 Monk Road in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania.〔(Aerial view of Cedar Crest ) from Flickr.〕 Located on a hill overlooking the Schuylkill River, it was designed by architect Edmund B. Gilchrist, 1928–31. Best known as the former residence of Campbell's Soup-heir John T. Dorrance, Jr., it is a contributing property in the Mill Creek Historic District.
==Dolobran II==
Gilchrist designed the estate for Rodman Ellison Griscom (1870–1944), a Philadelphia stockbroker and son of shipping magnate Clement Griscom. In the 1880s, the father had built a mansion and estate several miles away called "Dolobran," and the son named his estate "Dolobran II."
Interest in French-Norman architecture grew in the early 20th century, prompted by American architects who had attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and veterans of World War I who had served in Europe. Its greatest exponent in the Philadelphia area was architect George Howe, whose own mansion, "High Hollow" (1914–17), is a significant example of the style. The Architectural League of New York awarded Howe its 1925 Gold Medal for Excellence in Design for the French-Norman manor-and-farm, "Laverock" (1921–28, demolished),〔(Laverock ) from Society of Architectural Historians.〕 in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. But, in an influential review in ''The New Republic'', critic Lewis Mumford denounced it as "architectural anaesthesia" and "hocus-pocus":"''The critical weakness of the romantic architect is that he is employed in creating an environment into which people may escape from a sordid workaday world, whereas the real problem of architecture is to remake the workaday world so that people will not wish to escape from it.''"〔Lewis Mumford, "The Architecture of Escape," ''The New Republic'', vol. 43 (August 12, 1925).〕
Gilchrist was best known for his English-Cotswold-style suburban houses in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Chestnut Hill. He had made alterations to the elder Griscom's estate in 1905,〔(Griscom Residence ) from Philadelphia Architects and Buildings.〕 but the son's estate was the most ambitious single residence of his career. Gilchrist's "Dolobran II" can be seen as Howe's "Laverock" on an even grander scale – a late example of architecture as escapist fantasy.
