Stoneleigh
_____________________________________
A large gray mansion built of Wissahickon schist
With 45 rooms embellished in wood grain
Is more impressive when the details aren’t missed.
Easy to be distracted by size insane
In the small details the real wonder exists
The charm of stone flowers is hard to explain
The home’s grandeur is the point some may insist
It’s these small stone blooms that keep it from mundane
