Albert Jarecki House - 1905
Client: Historic Erie Preservation Trust
Location: 520 West 6th St., Erie, Pennsylvania
Dates: Original building — c.1905; Renovation - In progress
National Register of Historic Places Listing: Significant building in the West Sixth Street Historic District.
This late Shingle-style mansion was designed by Cleveland architect, Frank B. Meade (1867-1947) and built in 1905 for Albert H. Jarecki (1852-1933), President of Jarecki Manufacturing Company.
A four-bay garage was constructed six years later in 1911, with a matching stone facade and rolled-edge roof as the main house. Such an oversized garage was fitting for Albert, one of the earliest owners of an automobile in Erie. The two-story garage housed a residence on the second floor for Albert Jarecki’s chauffeur and his family.
The mansion and garage have since been converted into 14 apartments; 10 in the main house and 4 in the garage. Interior renovations are on the drawing board; however, exterior restoration has started with cleaning of the stone facade.
