The Mercury (Pottstown, PA)

Our history —The Elks on High Street

-

Located at 61 High Street, Pottstown PA 19464 with its massive corbeled chimneys, conical tower, and multiple gabled dormers, Elks on High Street is a fine example of the Queen Anne style.

Originally constructe­d in 1896 for a wealthy businessma­n and civic leader, Jacob Fegely, the building was sold to the Elks in 1913. The 3 1/2 story, multi-bayed and irregularl­y massed building is predominat­ely brick in constructi­on, but as typified by this style, a liberal use of other materials can be found on the building: wooden shingles on the tower, wooden framing on the gables, and a completely slate roof.
