The coach house was originally built as an accessory building to the cashier's house.","why_significant":"The complex was built as part of a three-building group with the Erie branch of the United States Bank of Pennsylvania and is described as a rare survivor of the business district that developed on State Street. The buildings are presented as good examples of Greek Revival architecture in Erie, and the cashier's house interior is described as a rare example of the Egyptian Revival style in Pennsylvania. The boundary increase adds the coach house, which earlier registration had overlooked.","narrative":"Built in 1839 by the Erie branch of the United States Bank of Pennsylvania, the three-story plastered brick cashier's house on State Street was designed as a residence for the bank's cashier, Peter Benson, who moved in with his family that year. Its austere Greek Revival exterior contrasts with an interior decorated with egg-and-dart and Greek fret patterns that match those in the nearby Custom House, and the interior is regarded as a rare Egyptian Revival example in Pennsylvania. The house and its two-story brick coach house were part of a complex on an emerging business district and remain rare survivors of that period. Ownership changed several times after the 1840s, and the coach house later served as a marble shop and a blacksmith's shop. The property was included in the register to recognise the value of its accessory buildings, which had earlier been overlooked.","period_of_significance":"1839","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival; Egyptian Revival (interior)","criteria":[],"status_note":"The cashier's house is described as essentially unchanged since 1839; the coach house has rear additions that roughly tripled its depth.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:34.236589-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/83002241.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71995513","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/erie-county/cashiers-house-and-coach-house-boundary-increase-83002241/"}
