Chandlery Corner

Chandlery Corner is a historic site in Erie, Pennsylvania, featuring three significant buildings: the Peter Rockwell House, Frederick Schneider House, and Schneider/Kessler Chandlery. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, these structures showcase 19th-century architecture, including Federal and Greek Revival styles. The Peter Rockwell House, built in 1832, was later adapted for commercial use, while the Frederick Schneider House, constructed in 1846, exemplifies residential design of the era. The Schneider/Kessler Chandlery, established in 1851, highlights the area's commercial history as the location of Erie's first soap and candle maker, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers interested in local heritage.
