Is this a greenhouse with a tumor? Nope, it is the Beth Sholom (House of Peace) synagogue, the only synagogue designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The building was completed and consecrated in 1959. During the day, the interior is lit by natural light entering through the translucent walls overhead. At night, the entire building glows from interior artificial lighting.
Do you have $20 million burning a hole in what must be your ludicrously large pocket? Then Lynnewood Hall could cease being abandoned and become yours! The 110-room mansion had 55 bedrooms, a large art gallery, a ballroom, swimming pool, wine cellars, a farm and an electrical power plant. The mansion was built between 1897 and 1900. Considered the largest surviving Gilded Age mansion in the Philadelphia area. Lynnewood Hall currently is owned but unused by the First Korean Church of New York.

Overall good experience. My room was very hot and thermostat wouldn’t cool. I had to sleep with balcony door open to cool down but the noise kept me up. Otherwise, it was fine.

I saw a lot of mixed reviews about this hotel but overall it was pretty good! The hotel bed is extremely comfortable and I also loved the shower pressure.
