Wyndmoor is a census-designated place in the Springfield Township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. In its early settlers days, the community was called "Bungtown," "Springfield Village," and "Tedyuscung," after the Native American leader Teedyuscung. The origins of "Wyndmoor" have been disputed through the years. The name is said to have been an appellation given by the Heebner family who donated some land for the Reading Railroad station or the original name of the estate of Randal Morgan that sat adjacent to the station. As of the 2010 census, the CDP has a population of 5,498 people and a total area of 1.6 square miles.
Stotesbury Club House was built for Edward T. Stotesbury between 1904 and 1908. Initially an equestrian center building, the one-and-a-half story, "L"-shaped frame historic clubhouse was designed by Edwin A. Yeo of the Arts and Crafts architectural style. On March 7, 1985, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It can be found on Eastern Avenue in Wyndmoor.
John Welsh House, or "Rauhala," is another historic home in Wyndmoor. Built in 1867, it was designed by architect Louis C. Hickman and consisted of a cubic Italianate style cottage behind an asymmetrical Gothic Revival cottage. The property was originally owned by Hannah Callowhill Penn, the second wife of William Penn, who became the acting Proprietor of Pennsylvania after he had a stroke in 1712. On September 5, 1990, the house was listed on the NRHP.
Whitemarsh Hall was an estate in Wyndmoor. Located on 300 acres of land, it was larger than the White House and the third largest private residence in the U.S. The estate was owned by banking executive Edward T. Stotesbury and Eva, his wife. It was built in 1921 from designs created by "Gilded Age" architect Horace Trumbauer. In 1980, it was demolished. Today, the demolition is among one of the greatest losses of American architectural history. Remnants of the estate can still be seen on the property.
Mermaid Park is a passive recreation facility in Wyndmoor at the intersection of Mermaid Lane and Elm Street. The 7-acre park was donated to the Springfield Township in 1974 by the U.S. Department of the Interior. In 1999, its rehabilitation project was finished. The park features open space, shaded areas, wooded areas, park benches and an eight-foot chain-link fence. It is open every day from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
