Jeffrey Mansion Expansion
In 2020, Marker Construction was hard at work renovating the Carriage Court space in Jeffrey Mansion. This renovation was made possible due to the generosity of our community and a $1.75 million donation from the Bexley Community Foundation. To learn about the 'Mansion Expansion Project', visit bexley.org/mansionexpansion.
History of Jeffrey Mansion
The grand English style home reflects the City’s past, present, and future. The three story brick structure was built by Robert H. Jeffrey (1873-1961), the son of Joseph A. Jeffrey (founder of Jeffrey Manufacturing Company). Construction of the mansion took place between 1903 and 1905 during the time Robert Jeffery was serving as the thirty-second mayor of Columbus.
