The community of Garrett Hill is in Radnor Township and in the Rosemont section.

History

The Joseph Sinnott Mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

The neighborhood of "Beaupre" in Rosemont was once the 200-acre estate of the same name, built for Alexander Cassatt's son, Robert. The original mansion now is part of The Mansion at Rosemont, a senior living community that is part of the nonprofit organization Human Good. The original French iron gates flank entrances from Conestoga Road and South Ithan Avenue.
