History and architectural features
Designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer for James W. Paul, a managing partner in Drexel and Company Banking (now JPMorgan Chase), it is currently one of the oldest buildings on the campus of Cabrini University, where it serves as the main administration building. It was originally built in 1901; major renovations and additions were then undertaken almost immediately and continued through 1907, with additional modifications executed in 1914.

This historic mansion is a three-story, fifty-one-room, 47,000-square-foot building that was created in the Elizabethan Tudor Revival style. It was once part of a 238-acre estate, 112 acres of which later became Cabrini University.

Administrators of the estate of Dr. John T. Dorrance, inventor of the process for condensed soup and president of the Campbell Soup Company, sold this property to the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1953. Cabrini University (then called Cabrini College) subsequently opened on the grounds of that former estate in September 1957. Woodcrest served as its first home.

This mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
