| About This Collection | Willard Penfield Seiberling (1892-1981), the third child of F.A. and Gertrude, was born in Akron, Ohio in 1892. He became a successful businessman whose lifelong interest and skill in photography produced a visual history of the Seiberling family, Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens and the world during the early 20th century. Willard's immense body of work is a priceless resource in the restoration and interpretation of Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens today. His images are critical to the museum, offering accurate historical records of the Seiberling family, hundreds of well-known guests, interior Manor House and exterior garden design and visual documentation of Akron community and culture. |
