Perkins Stone Mansion
Perkins Stone Mansion, Greek Revival mansion in Akron, United States.
The Perkins Stone Mansion features hand-cut yellow sandstone walls, a two-story portico, and a viewing platform situated between two tall chimney stacks.
Colonel Simon Perkins, son of Akron's founder, constructed this residence between 1835 and 1837 on a 300-acre estate used for farming and sheep grazing.
The mansion's interior displays three generations of Perkins family lifestyle artifacts while interpreting the development of Summit County from its establishment.
The Summit County Historical Society offers guided tours of the mansion, which includes access to the 1865 woodshed and 1895 wash house with its windmill.
The mansion's elevated position provided views of the Ohio and Erie Canal, with its dry-laid sandstone wall still marking the property's street boundaries.
