It is the present home of the Warren County Historical Society.","why_significant":"The house was built by Thomas Struthers as a wedding gift for his daughter Anna Wetmore and is tied to Struthers, a prominent 19th-century Warren citizen. Its exterior architecture is described as largely intact and as one of the fine examples of Victorian architecture in northwestern Pennsylvania.","narrative":"Built between 1870 and 1873 in Warren, Pennsylvania, this two-story red brick mansion with a mansard roof follows the Italian Renaissance style. Its walls are double layers of brick separated by an air space, set on a dressed stone water table. The front facade has paired windows, semi-circular on the first floor and flat on the second, with bracketed sills, and a small one-story portico with three-quarter columns. Thomas Struthers, a developer, industrialist and state legislator, had it constructed as a wedding present for his only daughter, Anna Wetmore. The house passed to the Schimmelfeng family in 1893 and was sold to the county commissioners in 1950 for use as a courthouse annex. Interior fittings were removed and altered during that period. The Warren County Historical Society acquired it in 1964 and has partly restored it. It is regarded as one of the finest Victorian buildings in northwestern Pennsylvania and one of the more important structures in the area.","period_of_significance":"1870-1873","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Italian Renaissance","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Altered interior; restored in part after the Warren County Historical Society acquired it in 1964; housing the Historical Society.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:30.99706-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/75001672.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001672/42fd6d86b6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/75001672/42fd6d86b6-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wetmore_House_Jul_12.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wetmore_House_Jul_12.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"99000877","name":"Warren Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/warren-historic-district-99000877/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998507","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetmore_House_(Warren,_Pennsylvania)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7990137"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/warren-county/wetmore-house-75001672/"}
