Join us at the Library for a discussion with Author, Janny Scott, a 15-year reporter for The New York Times, who was part of a team that won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.
Janny Scott will discuss the impact that Ardrossan, the Main Line estate, had on her father, Robert Montgomery Scott. Land, houses, and money tumbled from one generation to the next on the eight-hundred-acre Ardrossan that was built by Scott’s investment banker great-grandfather. Some beneficiaries flourished, like Scott’s grandmother, Helen Hope Scott, a celebrated horsewoman said to have inspired the film, The Philadelphia Story. For others, she concludes, the impact was more complex.
