Romantic Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens in Akron was completed in 1915 as a home for Frank Seiberling and his growing family.
Frank Seiberling was one of the cofounders of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. The estate is one of the most significant examples of the American Country Estate movement, popular during the Industrial Age.
The manor house and service buildings were designed in the Tudor revival style, inspired by English castles and estates and castles.
The Stan Hywet quickly became a place where Seiberlings met with their friends to discuss contemporary issues. Many well-known personalities and artists were guests in the manor.
After their parents' death, Seiberling's children decided to gift Stan Hywet to the Akron community in 1957. A popular Akron landmark, Stan Hywet is one of America's largest homes open to the public. It is an accredited museum and offers tours of home's original furnishings and art collections.
