John Hill House, Historical mansion in Erie, United States.
The John Hill House is a residential building in the Greek Revival and Italian Renaissance styles that extends about 100 feet along West 6th Street. It features round-headed windows, balconies, porches, and window bays throughout its facade, with original arched marble fireplaces and decorative trim preserved inside.
The house was built around 1836 and expanded during the 1850s. A two-story brick coach house with servants' quarters was added after 1891.
The structure combines Greek Revival and Renaissance Revival architectural elements, displaying scored poured concrete facades and clapboard with wood block quoins.
The property is located in a residential neighborhood and visible from the street. Visitors should note that it is a private residence and can only be viewed from outside.
William Johns originally built the house before it passed to merchant-banker Pierre Simon Vincent Hamot in 1840 and then to builder John Hill in 1854. The succession of owners shaped how the residence evolved and gained its eventual name.
