4500 Spruce
This was torn down in the 1960's, although it spent a good twenty years sitting abandoned. It's pretty creepy looking even in new condition...

My favorite Philly mansion was torn down in 1980, but you can visit it here: Whitemarsh Hall
If you're willing to settle for looking from the outside, there are some nice mansions in Powelton, especially along Powelton Ave, and in Chestnut Hill.

I always loved this mansion on North Broad Street. It's still there but kinda run down...
 the facade of the Wanamaker House is still on Walnut near Rittenhouse although the back has been tastelessly torn off...  and of course, Woodmont, the Gladwyn estate of Mother Divine...

Woodmont in Gladwyne is open to the public, and can be toured on sundays. I went on a "walk" of the property lead by Mother Divine last winter:

It had been their men's residence. The master bedroom on the 2nd floor had four double beds in it and the room still felt empty! They still own a number of beautiful houses on N and S Broad.
