Carl Herget Mansion

The Carl Herget Mansion is a historic house located at 420 Washington Street in Pekin, Illinois. The house was built in 1912 for Carl Herget, a businessman and member of one of Pekin's most prominent families. Prominent Peoria architectural firm Hewitt & Emerson designed the Classical Revival house; the style was in vogue in the early twentieth century, mainly due to its use at the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The front entrance features a full-height porch topped by a pediment and supported by four Corinthian columns and two Corinthian pilasters. The entrance itself is flanked by Ionic pilasters and topped by a fanlight and dentillated segmental pediment. The south and east sides each feature porches with Doric columns and balustrades.[2]
