another comment I want to make is that my grandfather was a member of the Union League and I recall dinners we would have there as a family. Very special place to me. He owned the Philadelphia Carpet Company at C & Allegheny Sts.
My family and I lived in one of the houses in the 'mediocre' housing development...our house built on Cromwell Road and it being near the entrance to the drive up to the mansion from Cromwell Rd. The mansion was still there at that time...around 1954. My parents went to a party there and told us the faucets in the bathrooms were gold [they were gold-plated]. I believe the salt company held a party there. As for myself, I was around 10 years of age and a school friend from the valley where more post-war houses were built as well on the other side of the mansion would meet in the grand gardens of the mansion to visit on our way to one another's homes.

Missing My Mondays with Mundy
John Bolton always was a war Munger
It could easily be rebuilt. Many craftsmen were away at war at the time. Much of the interior was plaster….when only 20 years earlier, much of the interiors would’ve been marble and cane stone columns. It wasn’t a matter of cheapness, but many aspects were curtailed for due to WWI…ie. The Great War to end all wars. lol The columns on the four arched doorways of the ballroom would’ve been turned marble from Italy or France, the baseboards would’ve all been Verdi marble and the grand staircase would been Carrara marble from Italy. I was there, and remember the staircase wood balustrade and railing formulation..was shaped as if to made of marble, but it was all wood. The white paint in some areas was applied and honed of many coats to attain that smooth finish to attain the verisimilitude of honed marble. This is not a criticism whatsoever, but it was a sign of the times. The great house was really just stage set for artwork of paintings, furniture, and objects of Art. What was unique about WH, was the 385 acres the house was placed within. The gardens around the house were extensions of the rooms within. All the grounds and statuary were of the highest caliber. The house floor plans are in full at copied for all to learn from. The Library of Congress, the Philadelphia Free Library, the Widener Library, the Philadelphia Athenaeum, UofP, and the Hagley Museum all have blue prints of of one design or another. The Orangery was never built. It itself was a grand structure of Georgian Palladian perfection. All the upper mantles were made in London at the Studio od White Alom at 15 Hanover square, the building is all there and it’s a condominium today. At least one of the upper mantle was 18th century….maybe two(?) The Living Room upper mantel and the Small Dining Rm upper mantle came out of an 18th century house in London. This very common at the time. Many great houses in the USA coveted something original and design a whole room around it. White Alom (so?) we’re famous for their marble mantle piece’. Auctioneers and dealers can be joyfully fooled at the almost undetectable perfection of the design and execution from their 18th century originals. One Stotesbury fireplace and upper mantle remains. It’s in the Stotesbury townhouse in Philadelphia. Sadly, the upper mantle has been foolishly painted out in Navaho white paint….over the original finish that had gold leaf filets over an oil based cream white enamel. Old enamel oils based paint was made by hand well into the teens of the 20th century. Painted finished were then honed with oil and fine emory cloth to achieve an extremely flawless finish liken to honed marble. If I commuted any sin, it was to not dismantle the upper mantles at WH when I was a teen. I saw it as vandalism for me to have done it then. But I so wish I had so that they would be around to day. They were huge, but all pieced together for transport. To my dying day, this will be an horrible regret. The two marble mantles in the ballroom were removed before demolition. Their whereabout is unknown to me. They were huge at almost 7’ high from floor to mantle. I’d like to know where the pair of chandeliers when also. They do exist too. What fun it would be to recreate the house and its collection put back.
How many of you have heard me speak before, he asks. After applause from MAYBE two audience members applaud. I'd say his jokes bombed but I don't think anyone ever made bombs that small.
Hi Jim, I tuned in for Horace Trumbauer, but I see your name is the same as my wife's maiden name, Mundy. From Schuykill county PA
Mark Rienzi gave an insightful and impassioned talk tonight. He shared a particularly fascinating fact, that the Quakers from Germantown wrote the first petition against slavery in 1688. Nearly 100 years before the Declaration of Independence.
Australia is no beacon of libertarianism - never will be.
John Bolton american traitor

Mr Moustache
Thank you Jon Bolton !
I love these videos
Fabulous Thank you
What a great story!
You may want to re-record this video, as the audio is muffled and the volume is so low that even turning it up all the way it is barely audible. Otherwise, nice architectural series. 👍🎬
Another war mongering john bolton .. nothing good in his mind and no human values..! 😂😂😂
Bolton is a war mongering hog and is a threat to humanity on this planet.
develop substantive choice republic
John Bolton would like America to intervene in a fight between a couple in Italy. what a joke.
Your the joke Ahole you don’t have a clue
Seems you missed “Real Politik” in your Yale education and international experience. There’s no way Russian leaders seriously contemplate restoring the Soviet Empire, but of course to deter NATO, EU, and progressive democracy expansion to Russia’s border. Second, perhaps Taiwan out to consider a preemptive war to capture the PRC.
> There’s no way Russian leaders seriously contemplate restoring the Soviet Empire No they just causally talk about in in state TV You are missing the clown makeup in you profile picture.
Yes they would Barney . Russia is motivated by the resources sounding it and more .

Other problems. Winslow T. Wheeler holds the position of Director for the Straus Military Reform Project at the Project On Government Oversight, situated in the Washington, D.C. region. With a distinguished career spanning over 31 years of service in the US Senate and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), he has authored and edited numerous books on subjects encompassing national security and the US military. In this video he and Stephen Gardner discuss the corruption in US Congress, the pay for play schemes, the love of war and the weakness of the US Military in spite of spending over $1 Trillion annually and lack of accountability that is allowing large sums of money to disappear. Wheeler also says that design flaws in the F-35 have left the USA without an adequate replacement for its aircraft that are becoming too old to fly.

Wonderful to know that there are still people with sense. Please keep flying the flag for the truth and standing strong in the face of this woke tyranny, which is based on nonsense.

Completely dishonest. Antiwhite hatred, burned southerners out of their homes and would murder blacks who wouldn't join their henchmen. Soldiered voting stations and watched both who voted and for whom. Sounds familiar doesnt it?
*promo sm*
Perhaps a Mundy discussion on the Worlds Fair. I recently came across very old family photos that sparked my already curious mind. 🙈🙉🙊
