Watson-Curtze Mansion at the Hagen History Center

Hours: Built in 1891, the mansion features a Richardsonian Romanesque style and includes 24 rooms, filled with architecture, stained-glass windows, mosaics, 12 fireplaces, a ballroom and solarium. Harrison F. Watson (1853-1904), a paper manufacturer, built the house with his wife Carrie. Their daughter, Winifred, married Eli Griswold, of Griswold Manufacturing. After Carrie died, Frederic Felix Curtze (1858-1941), a bank president and industry leader, bought the home and lived there with his family until his death. The family included his wife Caroline Stohlman Curtze and two children, Louise M. and Frederick A. After Mr. Curtze died, the home was donated to the Erie School District, then the Erie County Historical Society.
