Grey Towers. Milford ,Pennsylvania.

Grey Towers, located in Milford, Pennsylvania, was originally the summer estate of the James Pinchot family and later the primary home of Gifford Pinchot, America's first forester and founder of the USDA Forest Service and twice elected governor of Pennsylvania. The house, built in the style of a French château to reflect the Pinchot family's French origins, was designed by Richard Morris Hunt in 1884 and completed in 1886. Grey Towers originally contained 43 rooms and the cost was approximately $19,000 with an additional $24,000 for furnishings. In 1963 the family donated it and the surrounding 102 acres (41 ha) to the Forest Service; it is the only U.S. National Historic Site managed by that agency.
