It’s an amazing property, and once again it’s something that will be destroyed because of this school district if they aren’t stopped. There’s a teahouse with a beautiful giant old terra-cotta warrior who is just spectacular. The house itself is super cool and historic. But to so wantonly wish to destroy so much green space, so many trees, so much beauty for turf fields for middle schoolers is really kind of tone deaf in today’s world and it’s just wrong, pick a reason. I think if they had bought this property with the intention of using the house as the administration building for the school district or something like that I wouldn’t care.

Lower Merion School District is front page news over Oakwell, next door to Stoneleigh in Villanova.
