Stan Hywet Hall, the former country estate of the Frank A. Seiberling family, is one of the finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture in the United States. Frank A. Seiberling, who lived from 1859 to 1955, co-founded the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in 1898 and later the Seiberling Rubber Company, greatly contributing to Akron's distinction as the Rubber Capital of the World. Built between 1912 and 1915, the 65-room Manor House and service buildings stand on more than 70 acres of restored historic gardens and wooded landscapes that reflect the Seiberlings' tastes in the decorative and cultural arts. Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982.
