About the Mansion
Built in 1902, the turn-of-the-20th-century Feeney mansion is one of the finest examples of a bygone era in Reading. Originally the childhood home of Mary Nolan, the eldest daughter of James Nolan, a railroad tycoon, she married Edward Dives, founder of Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart. Mary lived in the home until her death in 1969, when the mansion was acquired by John P. Feeney. In 1987, the mansion was used as a location for the movie Time of Tears.

Above ground there are 28 rooms and six bathrooms on three floors and more than 9,200 square feet of floor space. The basement has an additional 2,200 square feet of space. The mansion contains more than 80 doors and 419 “pains” of glass.

The two-story carriage house sits at the rear of the property and can accommodate up to six overnight guests. Additional features include a queen-size bed; two full-size air mattresses; full linen service, eat-in kitchen with stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker; cable TV; wireless Internet; full-size washer and dryer; full bathroom; central air/heat; smoke and carbon monoxide detectors; and off-street parking. Like the historic mansion, the carriage house is nearly 100 years old. Over the years, it has been renovated several times and served other purposes, including housing an ambulance service.

The property also has nine garden areas, which can be toured during the spring and summer months.
