 Bellaire Manor Bellaire is one of the earlier houses in the park, constructed between 1735 and 1750. Originally overlooking a 142-acre working farm, the house now sits on the FDR golf course - talk about being close to the links! Its original owner, Samuel Preston, served as the trustee of William Penn's estate and was the Provincial Treasurer. If you're a true architectural historian, you'll want to make a trek to FDR Park to check out this remarkable surviving building and its floor to ceiling interior wood paneling.
