History of the Marietta Victorian Mansion
IN THE 1870’S, BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN HIESTAND (known as
B.F.), was a local business owner in the
thriving river town of Marietta. Marietta
had become very prosperous due to the
river, the canal, the railroads and also
because the town had 3 of the 4 Bessemer
iron furnaces east of the Mississippi. As
B.F. Heistand’s wealth grew, he decided
to purchase “the farm” outside of town
as a summer respite from the heat and
noise of Marietta. The original house
was what is now the existing kitchen,
back sitting room and bath. After an
extensive addition by B.F., the property
became grand enough to be pictured
in the Lancaster County Atlas of 1875.
Because of his wealth and access to fine
woods, he was able to install exquisite
parquet floors and also to use chestnut…
the premier wood of the day…for the
entryway and the grand staircase. Special
tile was imported for both fireplaces and
for the main bathroom. The tile around
the library fireplace was treated with a
“gold wash”, a process where ground up
gold was added to varnish and painted
onto the tiles. The curtains in the main
parlor are pure silk and were installed by
the Hiestands.
B.F. and his wife Martha, had eight
children. Each of his children inherited
a property, with his son George inheriting
Susquehanna Manor. George, his wife
Elida and their son Andrew made the farm
their home. They hired C. Emlen Urban,
a renowned local architect known for his
4
work on the Watt & Shand building,
Hotel Hershey and John Wanamaker’s
in Phila. to “gild the lily.” George dearly
loved the farm and in his will directed
that it should never be sold. However,
after remaining in the family for several
years after his passing, it did eventually
fall into disrepair.
In 1985, the property was purchased by
Willis and Martha Herr. The Herr’s did
extensive restoration to bring the property
back to its former glory and soon opened
it as a successful Bed and Breakfast,
wedding and party venue.
THE COLLECTION: The Herr’s have
enjoyed many years of collecting and
buying antiques to furnish the manor,
most of which are being sold today. Willis
Herr’s significant collection of Tramp art
was prompted by childhood memories
of “tramps” coming to the back door at
his family’s farm and asked to work in
exchange for some food or a place to sleep.
Young Willis was fascinated by these
highly skilled wayfarers. Martha spent
significant time assembling an extensive
collection of Flow Blue China. She not
only enjoyed collecting but also using
these beautiful pieces for family dinners.
While many pieces are special to her, her
highly prized piece up for auction is the
portrait of Abraham Lincoln. Simon
Cameron, who was in President Lincoln’s
Cabinet, resided in the area. The painting
was in Susquehanna Manor when they
purchased the property.
