Hazeltine, A. J., House - Warren, PA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The building now known as the Honorable Charles Warren Stone Museum was build as a private residence by the late A.J. Hazeltine, a native of Chautauqua County, New York, who spent most of his life in Warren and rose to the position of president of the Warren Savings Bank in 1889. Hazeltine, a man of diverse interests and a well-respected member of the community, was a friend and business associate of C.W. Stone, educated and attorney who became a congressmen, a senator, and lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania. (Stone was also a founder and the first president of the Warren County Historical Society.) The impressive Hazeltine house is unique among private dwellings in Warren; it was designed by the architect Edward A. Phillips, begun in 1905, and completed in May, 1907. In 1928, after Hazeltine's death, his heirs sold the home to the American Legion. It was used by that organization for about 40 years and then sold to a local businessman for office space and rental income property. Late in 1975, the Warren County Commissioners purchased the property for use as a county museum, to be established and operated by the Warren County Historical Society.

Architectually, the house is an excellent example of a large baranial residence in adaptive historical style, here 16th Century English residence (Jacobean).

The house is eclectic in its specific detail combining some classical motifs for the porches with some nondescript wall surfaces along with the English scheme. The result is both elegant and unique as scale and proportion tie the whole building together. The Honrable Charles Warren Stone Museum is a fine example of the late Victorian tradition in Warren County.
