''Woodcrest Mansion'' is an historic, American [[mansion]] that is located in [[Radnor Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania]].
It was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2008.<ref name="nris"/>
==History and architectural features==
Designed by renowned architect [[Horace Trumbauer]] for James W. Paul, a managing partner in Drexel and Company Banking (now [[JPMorgan Chase]]), it is currently one of the oldest buildings on the campus of [[Cabrini University]], where it serves as the main administration building. It was originally built in 1901; major renovations and additions were then undertaken almost immediately and continued through 1907, with additional modifications executed in 1914.
This historic mansion is a three-story, fifty-one-room, 47,000-square-foot building that was created in the [[Tudor Revival architecture|Elizabethan Tudor Revival]] style. It was once part of a 238-acre [[estate (land)|estate]], 112 acres of which later became Cabrini University.
Administrators of the estate of [[John Thompson Dorrance|Dr. John T. Dorrance]], inventor of the process for condensed soup and president of the [[Campbell Soup Company]], sold this property to the [[Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus]] in 1953. Cabrini University (then called Cabrini College) subsequently opened on the grounds of that former estate in September 1957. Woodcrest served as its first home.<ref name="arch">{{cite web| url = https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/ce/SelectWelcome.asp| title = National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania| publisher = CRGIS: Cultural Resources Geographic Information System| format = Searchable database}} ''Note:'' This includes {{cite web| url = {{NRHP-PA|H079246_01H.pdf}}| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Woodcrest| accessdate = 2012-01-06| author =Martha W.
