A Mansion of Legacy
Asa Packer Mansion的点评
点评：This mansion contains so much. Great architecture, impressive woodwork, well kept furniture and a great story to tell. I like to see how Asa lived as a wealthy man in the Victorian era. This mansion was built to last. Careful planning was put into it. Asa placed this Mansion on a spot where he could oversee his railroad. Besides the station, it had a beautiful view of the town. The Mansion may not have been passed down generations , but it was passed down to generations of people in Jim Thorpe.
Asa Parker was a businessman who pioneered railroad construction, was active in Pennsylvania politics and founded Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA. The Mansion was completed in 1861. The architecture Samuel Sloan designed the home in Italianette architecture style. This includes a mahogany staircase, mahogany doors, low pitched roof and the ornate verandas that stand out in the pictures.
Mary Packer (daughter) lived in the home after Asa's death. After her passing, (1912) the home was willed to the Borough of Mauch Chunk to remain a memorial to her father. It is run today by the Jim Thorpe Lions Club. They started doing tours in 1956.
It is not a very expensive tour. It is full of information and this home is part of the railroad and part of America. Asa lived the American dream.
Our tour guide expressed this view. He took his time telling us about the Packer family and things in the Home. As a person who likes architecture and history, this visit was a homer! Enjoy your visit. The only bad news is that you can't take pictures inside.

翻译：这座宅邸蕴藏着丰富的内涵。宏伟的建筑、精湛的木工、保存完好的家具，以及一段引人入胜的故事。我很想了解阿萨在维多利亚时代作为富人的生活方式。这座宅邸建造得经久耐用，凝聚了建造者的匠心。阿萨将宅邸选址于一处可以俯瞰铁路的绝佳位置。除了车站之外，这里还能欣赏到小镇的美丽景色。虽然宅邸本身可能并非世代相传，但它却在吉姆·索普镇代代相传。
阿萨·帕克是一位商业奇才，他是铁路建设的先驱，积极参与宾夕法尼亚州的政治活动，并在宾夕法尼亚州伯利恒市创办了利哈伊大学。这座宅邸于1861年竣工。建筑师塞缪尔·斯隆以意大利式建筑风格设计了这座宅邸，其特色包括红木楼梯、红木门、低坡屋顶以及照片中引人注目的华丽阳台。
阿萨去世后，他的女儿玛丽·帕克一直居住在这座宅邸中。她去世后（1912年），这栋房子被遗赠给莫克丘克自治市，作为她父亲的纪念馆。如今，它由吉姆·索普狮子会管理，并于1956年开始提供参观导览服务。
参观费用并不昂贵，内容丰富，这栋房子不仅是铁路的一部分，也是美国历史的一部分。阿萨实现了美国梦。
我们的导游也表达了同样的观点。他耐心地向我们讲述了帕克家族的故事以及房子里的种种物件。对于像我这样热爱建筑和历史的人来说，这次参观简直太棒了！祝您参观愉快。唯一的遗憾是屋内禁止拍照。
