Exterior
The recreated red-brick manor house stands two stories tall with dormer windows piercing the hipped roof. It is designed in the Georgian style and stands five bays wide and two piles deep. The white window and door trim contrast against the brick, which is laid in Flemish bond.
The manor house is surrounded by the support buildings, built in either matching red brick or whitewashed wood frames. Pennsbury Manor was built by the same architect as Colonial Williamsburg.

Famous quotes containing the word exterior:
“Professor Eucalyptus said, “The search
For reality is as momentous as
The search for god.” It is the philosopher’s search
For an interior made exterior
And the poet’s search for the same exterior made
Interior: breathless things broodingly abreath....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The competent leader of men cares little for the niceties of other peoples’ characters: he cares much—everything—for the exterior uses to which they may be put.... These are men to be moved. How should he move them? He supplies the power; others simply the materials on which that power operates.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and so on, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
