A Rich History
After Harry Byron made his fortune in the tanning trades, he dreamed of building a magnificent private estate of lasting elegance and quality. In 1909, Harry and his wife Ione, embarked upon this quest and created Prospect, a stately 20,000-square-foot Georgian mansion on six and a half acres of terraced lawns. Originally featuring 40 closets (commissioned by the socially astute Ione), the house proclaimed the Byrons’ status to all. Closets were taxed as rooms back then and only the absolute wealthiest could afford 40!
During your stay, notice the quality work and attention to detail throughout the elegant brick mansion. Decorative tile, oak flooring, double-curving wrought-iron balustrades, scagliola columns and the mahogany and chestnut paneling are all original to the house.
Along with their three sons, Vaughn, James, and Tidd, the Byrons lived grandly in this resplendent home until 1953, when the house was sold and became the Mercersburg Inn. Take a moment to stroll through the Gold Room off the grand entryway where photographic portraits of the Byrons (circa 1917) hang in tribute.
