Greystone Hall
Greystone Hall is a lavish English estate, located right on Phoenixville Pike. In 1907, this gorgeous hall was built for Sharples, the inventor and manufacturer of the Sharples Tubular Cream Separator, a local West Chester company. The manor was architect Keen’s vision come to life. Keen was known for his work of mansions and buildings in Germantown, Overbrook, Philadelphia and the Main Line. Being around for over 100 years, the estate served as a home and has now become a popular venue for many types of events. The walls are enriched in architectural and local history, which The Chester County History Society wants you to find more about.
