Welcome to the Historic Weeks Mansion – A Timeless Treasure in the Heart of Jamestown
Step into a piece of Jamestown’s rich history with this extraordinary 1870s-era residence, known as the Weeks Mansion. Offering over 4,000 square feet of exquisitely detailed living space, this stately two-and-a-half-story home is a remarkable blend of architectural elegance and historical significance.
As you approach from 8th Street, the grandeur of this cross-gabled residence is immediately apparent. Perched on a hill, the home commands attention from nearly half a mile away, its striking presence visible long before you arrive. The architectural design draws from the Italian Villa style, seamlessly combined with intricate Eastlake woodwork details that showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the era.
The home features a unique tower that adds character and dimension to its already impressive silhouette. Inside, every corner reveals a story—original woodwork, soaring ceilings, ornate trim, and large, light-filled rooms all reflect the fine attention to detail that went into the construction of this historic gem.
This property is more than just a home—it’s a landmark. For a time, it was occupied by Charles E. Weeks, who served as Postmaster of Jamestown after being appointed by President Grover Cleveland. Continuing the family’s legacy of public service, Weeks’ son later served as Mayor of Jamestown and lived at nearby 34 Lakeview Avenue. At the turn of the century, the residence became home to Newton Crissey, then-President of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank located at 215 Main Street.
While rich in history, the Weeks Mansion has also been thoughtfully maintained. A brand-new roof was recently installed at a cost of $42,000, providing peace of mind for the future. The property includes a frame garage and offers the rare convenience of a second parcel—a lot located directly behind the home—adding valuable outdoor space and flexibility. Please note, the home does have a shared driveway.
With its deep historical roots, commanding architectural presence, and unmatched level of craftsmanship, this residence is truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re an admirer of historic homes, a lover of fine architecture, or simply someone in search of a distinctive and spacious property, the Weeks Mansion offers an unparalleled opportunity.
From its panoramic views down 8th Street to the fine woodwork that adorns every room, this home invites you to experience the past while creating your own story in a truly special setting. Don’t miss your chance to own a remarkable piece of Jamestown history.
