Speedwell Forge Mansion, also known as Speedwell Forge Homestead, is a historic home located at Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The ironmaster's mansion was built about 1760, and is a 2½-story, four bay wide and two bay deep, brownstone and fieldstone dwelling in the Georgian style. It was expanded about 1795 with a Georgian/Federal style wing. Also on the property are a contributing stone summer kitchen (c. 1760), stone and frame workshop (c. 1795-c. 1850), stone paymaster's office c. 1795), and stone privy (c. 1795).[2]
The forge operated continuously until 1854, when it closed as iron production moved west. The property has been restored and turned into a bed and breakfast[3] as well as the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
