Col. Ira C. Copley Mansion, Neoclassical mansion in Aurora, Illinois.

The three-story mansion features Roman brick walls in Flemish bond pattern and exhibits classical revival elements with ionic porticos on each side.

Built in 1917 for Colonel Ira Clifton Copley, a U.S. Representative and founder of Copley Press, the mansion received National Register recognition in 1978.

The design by architect Jarvis Hunt incorporates Federal style details, including slender pilasters and an elliptical fanlight at the main entrance.

The mansion maintains its status as a private residence within the West Side Historic District, limiting interior access to the general public.

The mansion includes a third-floor Palladian window with a lunette and twin chimneys rising from the west side of its hipped roof structure.
