The William Brown-Yerg House

One of my favorite houses in Warren, Pennsylvania.

Italianate design. 16 rooms. 14-foot ceilings. Floor-length bay windows. Wide central hall and staircase.

Construction began in the spring of 1868; completed in August 1869.

Beautifully restored in the late 1990s after years of neglect. (Restoration included removal of white paint slathered over original brickwork.)

A popular style of house in the oil-rich era of Warren's history.
