Private residence of Ehrman B. Mitchell (1924-2005) co-founding partner at Mitchell/Giurgola

LINK TO the work of the Mitchell/Giurgola firm

The Mitchell Residence is one of the best examples of mid-century residential architecture in the region, combining grand spaces with an intimate overall scale. This house incorporates the Philadelphia mid-century trademark use of stone and walls of glass in a perfect blend, giving the home a feeling of substance, yet open to the outdoors.
