Gwynedd Hall is an historic home which is located in Lower Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 [1] and was rehabilitated in 1997 when the surrounding property was developed.

History and architectural features

Built in 1824, it was rebuilt into its present configuration in 1852. It is a two- to three-story, stuccoed stone and frame country dwelling, which was designed in the Greek Revival style. [2]

The five-bay symmetrical front facade features a pedimented portico with Tuscan order columns. The house also has open porches, which previously featured decorative wrought iron railings, balustrades, and cornices. [2]
