Behind these Gates, Better Than Imagined [Photos]

For years I have caught glimpses of a property sitting behind walls at the corner of North Spring Mill and Old Gulph roads in Villanova. I finally got the chance to interview the owner, architect FL Bissinger (coming soon... an article on Bissinger).

The property now contains what was the "lodge" and the stables/carriage house of an estate that was called Briar Crest.
