It was constructed in 1913 for Frank Dohrman Yuengling, head of the Yuengling brewing family.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is a very fine example of early twentieth-century Tudor-Jacobethan Revival architecture and is unusual in scale for the anthracite region. Its interiors, including the foyer, music room, dining room and study, are described as exceptionally intact and richly detailed. The house is also linked to the Yuengling family's business and civic interests in Pottsville.","narrative":"Built in 1913 in Pottsville, the Frank D. Yuengling Mansion is a three-story Tudor-Jacobethan Revival house of brick, stucco and half-timbering, set on a formally landscaped lot of about two acres enclosed by wrought iron fencing. Designed by Harry Maurer, a Reading architect, for Frank Dohrman Yuengling, it was built on a grand scale unusual for the anthracite region. The house has more than twenty rooms, including a foyer with an open staircase and a carved stone fireplace, a music room and dining room in Adamsesque style, and a study with a brick fireplace and beamed ceiling. Original mantels, chandeliers and tapestry wall hangings survive on the first floor. The grounds include a two-story carriage house, a sunken formal garden with statuary and a sundial, and a gazebo with bas relief panels. The property is significant as a well-preserved example of its style and as the residence of a leading member of the family that ran the Yuengling brewery, reputedly America's oldest.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Harry Maurer (architect)","architectural_style":"Tudor-Jacobethan Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Recently conveyed by the heirs of Augusta Yuengling to the Schuylkill County Council for the Arts, Inc., for use as a cultural center; the main house is described as in excellent condition.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.13549-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/79002342.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002342/a61e369910-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/79002342/a61e369910-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ MD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FRANK_D._YUENGLING_MANSION.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ MD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:FRANK_D._YUENGLING_MANSION.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997872","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_D._Yuengling_Mansion","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5486139"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/schuylkill-county/yuengling-frank-d-mansion-79002342/"}
