The Andrew Jackson Residence built circa 1868 is a prominent building near Downtown Akron. The mansion was originally built as a mid-nineteenth century merchant’s residence for Andrew Jackson. This beautiful example of a Second Empire house near the University of Akron has played a significant role in the history of Akron for over 130 plus years.
