Secluded behind high Wissahickon schist walls and flags of the world is Clarke Hall, an architectural beauty, and its expansive grounds, an elegant and unique setting available for weddings, receptions, and special occasions.
Situated on 11 rolling acres in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, Clarke Hall, originally called Brookfield, was the home of Jay Cooke III. He was the grandson of Jay Cooke, the mid-nineteenth century money baron who helped finance the Union war effort during the Civil War and developed railroads in the northwestern United States.
Clarke Hall was designed and built by Wilson Eyre, a prominent architect who was the first president of the American Architectural Association. The building combines English, Italian, and early American rustic forms.
