Frederick Weller Home - Weller Library - Mohawk, NY
Weller Library - Now a little bit of history: This brick and wood structure was the home of Frederick Weller (1819-1911) who was a prominent businessman. He acquired a fortune through various enterprises and retired at the age of 38 due to ill health. He purchased the house in 1859 and later purchased six acres south of his home, which is now Weller Park. After the death of his wife Helen in 1912 the house was deeded to the village for use as a library. The library was dedicated in 1913. Though modernized where necessary for library purposes, the building has retained much of its original decor and charm. A second floor museum contains memorabilia of Mohawk's past. Located at 41 West Main Street in Mohawk, NY. (LF 149)
