Follow the star to Bethlehem Pennsylvania — Christmas City, USA. The Sayre Mansion is conveniently
located within blocks of Lehigh University, St. Luke's Hospital, Historic Downtown Bethlehem and the
Revitalized Southside Shopping District. The Inn is five minutes from the Lehigh Valley International Airport
and less than ninety minutes from New York City, Philadelphia and The Pocono Mountains.
More than one hundred years ago, this glittering mansion, the first house built in the wealthy neighborhood
called Fountain Hill, was home to one of the community's most distinguished men — Robert Heysham
Sayre.
The numerous organizations and institutions built, shaped and guided by Sayre were and still are, literally
laid out around the Sayre Mansion. Lehigh Valley Railroad’s main headquarters were one block away. Sayre
could see Lehigh University on the hills in front of him. Behind him was St. Luke's Hospital. The
Episcopalian Cathedral Church of the Nativity was right across the street. Behind the Church was the
Fountain Hill Opera House, a place Sayre founded to bring culture and entertainment to his community. And
on the banks of the Lehigh River, which ran through the valley below him, were the railroad and the
Bethlehem Iron Works, the company he helped build, and which later would become the sprawling industry
of Bethlehem Steel.
