As a Senior Editor of Main Line Today magazine and currently Editor-in-Chief of Main Line Tonight, I was familiar with the many great estates, hotels, and exclusive country clubs in the region. However, for our 2021 Power Women of the Main Line photoshoot --the first since the onset of the pandemic--I needed a really special place for our 20 special honorees. We needed space, privacy, and elegance that would be a great photography and video backdrop. A tall order, right? Not for Colleen Comerford of Historical Locations Management(”HLM”). Her company represents some of the most elegant historical private venues throughout the tri-state region and particularly on the Main Line. The best part of Colleen and her company is she does not charge her customers for her services in locating the perfect venue for your next event you may be planning. So when I gave the challenge to Colleen, her answer was, “I have the perfect place!” And she did! She suggested The Duportail House in Chesterbrook that dates back to the Revolutionary War. The photo shoot went off without a hitch and our honorees were thrilled and a little bit in awe. Many had been unaware of this historical house. We would have never known about Duportail without your help Colleen! Thank you again for all your assistance in finding the perfect venue for our photoshoot! Great job!
