Hayfield House was built as a summer home by coal baron John Conyngham and his wife, Bertha, during the Great Depression, at a cost of over $1 million. The house and surrounding farm were given to Penn State in the mid-1960s by Richard and Helen Robinson. Most of the original furnishings are gone from Hayfield House, but visitors can still enjoy the magnificent architectural aspects of the building and the unique characteristics of each room. Currently the mansion hosts faculty and administrative offices.
