About the Space
A Cinematic Mansion Steeped in History & Visual Grandeur One of Pennsylvania’s most visually striking and historically rich residential estates, now available for film productions, photo shoots, television series, fashion campaigns, and commercial rentals. Just 8 minutes from Lehigh Valley International Airport, ideally located for fast access while offering the privacy, scale, and atmosphere filmmakers and creatives seek. This grand estate delivers a cinematic canvas like no other — combining 1920s elegance, diverse shooting environments, and authentic vintage details, all in one remarkable property. Once the lavish private home of George Dery, famously known as “The King of Silk,” the estate tells the story of Pennsylvania’s industrial heyday. Dery was one of the state’s wealthiest men, and his mansion was built to reflect that power and opulence. From its original Tiffany glass skylight to its roaring ’20s indoor pool, this location exudes a rare, lived-in authenticity that can’t be recreated on a soundstage. Architectural Versatility for Multiple Scenes With over 10,000 square feet of shootable space and expansive Victorian gardens, The house offers a range of moods and settings. Whether you’re creating a romantic period piece, a high-fashion editorial, or a dramatic thriller, the estate easily adapts. • Two Grand Ballrooms (1,800 sq ft each): Ornate details, soaring ceilings, and large windows make these ideal for dance scenes, elegant interiors, or repurposing as upscale venues, studios, or galleries. • Roman Portico: A massive outdoor architectural feature, perfect for wedding scenes, political dramas, or fantasy set pieces. • Vintage 1920s Bar: Rich wood tones and period fixtures provide an authentic speakeasy or Gatsby-style ambiance. • Original Indoor Pool (1920s): Currently under renovation, but once completed, this rare feature offers atmospheric visuals ideal for fashion shoots or moody, ethereal film sequences. • Tiffany Skylight: A show-stopping centerpiece that floods the space with colored light — perfect for visual storytelling and artful cinematography. • Expansive Terraces & Garden Paths: Ideal for dialogue scenes, romantic walk-and-talks, or reflective character moments. • Six Decorated Suites: Each suite is styled differently, offering multiple bedroom and interior settings with old-world charm. Why Filmmakers & Photographers Choose us • Authenticity: From antique doorknobs to stained glass, the property is a preserved time capsule of the 1920s with thoughtful upgrades. • Size & Privacy: Multiple wings, terraces, and secluded gardens allow for simultaneous setups and controlled production environments. • Logistical Ease: Located close to a major airport with ample on-site parking, equipment loading areas, and nearby accommodations. • Flexible Usage: The house can easily serve as a mansion, hotel, private club, estate, art gallery, or even a period government building. • Terrific Light: Natural light floods nearly every room during the day, reducing lighting rig requirements and boosting production value. Ideal For: • Feature Films & Short Films • Music Videos • Fashion Editorials & Campaigns • Bridal or Lifestyle Photo Shoots • Period Pieces (1920s, Victorian, etc.) • Art Films & Experimental Shoots • TV Series, Streaming Content, and Luxury Brand Commercials
