| History of the Inn |
Broadlawns was built in 1881 by Stephen Paxson Darlington, member of a prominent West Chester family and partner in the firm of Hoopes Brothers and Darlington. The company manufactured wheels for many of the Conestoga Wagons that took pioneers to the 19th century western frontier. Judge McElree, member of another prominent West Chester family, purchased the property from Mr. Darlington in 1915 and later named it Broadlawns.
In an 1881 article written at the time of its construction, Broadlawns was touted to be "a grand house and one of the most expensive and beautiful in the Borough." The current occupants, Bill & Dorene Winters, are the fifth family to reside at Broadlawns.
