Charming apartments like this one have been a significant part of the heritage of the Langhorne House since 1921, when this historic structure where Lady Astor was born in 1879, was moved and remodeled by the Gwynn family which also built the Caswell Apartments where the C.D. Langhorne house once stood. 

For eight decades, since Mrs. and Mrs. Nelson Benton—the first tenants in the newly-designated Gwynn Apartments—entertained two of the returning Langhorne daughters, Irene Gibson and Lady Nancy Astor, in their downstairs unit on May 5, 1922, the structure has been home to a host of this area’s well- regarded citizens and professionals. The roster includes even a descendant of Thomas Jefferson.

The apartment of Rachel Schoonover demonstrates how well these apartments lend themselves to the talents of such bright, young professionals with a love and respect for history.
