General Notes

Note

Willard Penfield Seiberling (1892-1981) was an avid and amateur photographer who developed his photographic interest while attending Princeton University. The Dark Room at Stan Hywet Hall was added to the floorplan during construction for his use. Willard is credited with most of the early images of Stan Hywet. Cedar Lodge was built ca. 1901 and was the F.A. Seiberling family summer home until ca. 1955 when it was sold. The camp was repurchased in ca. 1965 by Willard Penfield Seiberling who began its restoration.
