Subject	Irving Lawn Manor Conger Mansion Houses Buildings Interiors People Akron City of Akron Demolition
Description	Photograph of (left to right): Carl H. Pockrandt, L. B. Hiebel, Dr. E. J. Cauffield, E. L. Brueggeman and C. F. Billow. They are inside Irving Lawn Manor, more commonly known as the Conger Mansion, prior to its demolition. Completed in 1890, Irving Lawn was the Ash Street residence of Akron, Ohio, businessman and politician Colonel Arthur L. Conger (1838-1899). Col. Conger and his wife Emily Bronson Conger were prominent in 19th century Akron society. The couple's three-story, 40-room mansion was named in honor their son, Erastus Irving, who died as an infant. Following the deaths of Col. and Mrs. Conger, the mansion stood vacant for over 20 years before being razed in 1941 to make room for a parking lot for Yeager Co.
