About Ormiston Mansion - Erected by Edward Burd in 1798, Ormiston Mansion is a well preserved two-and-a-half story, late Georgian House built of red brick on a central-hall plan. The building’s American-bond brickwork gives way to Flemish bond on the front. The facade is also adorned with a simple Tuscan porch; a smaller pedimented version of this porch is attached to the rear of the house. Early interior features such as fireplaces, moldings, and a Scottish bake oven have survived. A widow's walk tops the house. Federal-style dormer windows also adorn the cedar shake roof.

Directions from Kelly Drive - Turn into Fairmount Park at General Grant's Statue onto Fountain Green Dr. Go to top of hill, onto East Resevoir Dr. Ormiston Mansion is on your left.
