This Jenkintown Manor Home was built in 1910 for Lessing Rosenwald for his gatekeeper with precise workmanship and pride. Later it was occupied by his daughter Helen Snellenberg.
It is built in a Breton (northwest France) style and has many unique features of character. This is a modern country house with a small patio, built in a traditional Breton style with white masonry and stone lintels, corners and window décor. There are many beautiful Norman timberframes in Jenkintown Manor, but this may be the only Breton style.
