Property Description

One of Preston's most historically significant residences, 127 Jacob Street is a landmark 19th-century estate commanding a prominent position atop historic Kress Hill. Built c. 1845 for Jacob K.

Erb, a member of one of Preston's prominent early families, this distinguished home has overlooked the community for more than 180 years.
