Weyerhaeuser House, Second Empire mansion in Rock Island, Illinois.
The Weyerhaeuser House features a distinctive mansard roof, ornate architectural details, and traditional brick construction reflecting the Second Empire style of the 1860s.
Frederick Weyerhaeuser purchased this residence in 1865 and transformed it through extensive renovations from 1882 to 1883, creating a significant architectural landmark.
