The Grubb Mansion at 1304 High Street is a Queen Anne Victorian built in 1906 by William I. Grubb, who began his career as a slater and carpenter before founding a bicycle manufacturing company in 1893 at age 37 in a small shop along Queen Street between Charlotte and Evans Streets. In 1895, his company, the Light Cycle Co., moved to a new three-story brick factory at Queen and Union Streets, where during the next 35 years it manufactured bicycles, the Flying Merkel motorcycle, and the Chadwick automobile. While working on the Chadwick, Grubb became friends with Henry Ford, who shared his interest in the die-casting process and stayed at the property on several occasions. In 1925, Grubb sold the property to the Weitzenkorn family, well-known Pottstown merchants, who lived in the house until 1954, when the AFL-CIO labor union purchased it for offices. George and Joan Wausnock bought the building in 1989 and spent a year and a half restoring it. The mansion has been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been featured in Country Home magazine and in The Antique Toy magazine.
