Originally designed by noted architect Frank Furness as a summer resort hotel, this building is his last surviving example of that type. It opened in 1890 as the Bryn Mawr Hotel, built in a French Chateau style for the Pennsylvania Railroad. The Baldwin School, a preparatory school for girls founded in 1888, leased the building in 1896 and became its owner in 1922. It replaced an earlier Bryn Mawr Hotel built here for the PRR about 1871.
