The John P. Crozer II Mansion is a house at 900, 922, 924 and 926 Main St. in Upland, Delaware County. It was built in 1879-1880 in the Queen Victorian style, and an addition followed in 1907.
Why it's listed
It was listed in the National Register in 1980 under criterion C, with local significance in architecture. Its period of significance runs from 1879 to 1880, the years of its construction. The nomination calls it a rare intact example of a Victorian estate with standing outbuildings and an excellent example of a type of Victorian architecture, and ties it to the Crozer family and to the development of Upland borough.
Physical character
The walls are wood, including redwood, and the tin roof is painted red. It carries gingerbread spindle work, Victorian gables and a Victorian window cove, with a bay window, multi-paned windows and a gambrel roof. Ten large redwood pillars, green aluminum siding and a one room addition are among its features, and white oak and pine appear in its fabric.
Historical context
The house was the residence of John P. Crozer II in 1880, and it served as a single dwelling and as an apartment house. A private study was added in 1907.
