Stan Hywet Hall is one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture in America. The majestic 65-room country estate sits on 70 acres of artfully landscaped gardens and grounds.

Stan Hywet Hall was built between 1912 and 1915 by Goodyear co-founder F.A. Seiberling and his wife, Gertrude. The estate was designed to accommodate their active lifestyles and large family. It also allowed the couple to lavishly entertain business associates, friends and prominent members of the community.

Stan Hywet was designed by Cleveland architect, Charles Schneider. Warren Manning, also a Clevelander, served as landscape architect for the gardens.

The Manor House is filled with treasures from around the globe and its rooms exemplify a minute attention to detail. The house's 21,000 panes of glass, 23 fireplaces, and hand-carved paneling of oak, sandalwood and black walnut reflect the opulence of the era. Every room tells its own story of the Seiberling lifestyle—from the Billiard Room where F.A. entertained his business associates and sealed deals over a brandy and good cigar to the ornate Music Room where famous celebrities like Will Rogers and Shirley Temple entertained the Seiberlings and their friends.
