Andrew P. Weschler, president and manager of the Colonial Enterprises company, Inc., is one of Erie's most active
business men and substantial citizens. He was born in this city in 1873 and is the son of Jacob and Frances Weschler,
both of whom are deceased.
A. P. Weschler has two sisters and a brother living, as follows: Mrs. Bena Leary, Erie, Pa.; Mrs. George W. Brown,
Los Angeles, Calif.; and Joseph J. Weschler, Erie, Pa.
Mr. Weschler was educated in the public schools of Erie and when a young man became interested in real estate,
in which he has been successfully engaged for a number of years. Among his noteworthy achievements is the opening
of the Boulevard Park addition, which was annexed to the city of Erie through Mr. Weschler's untiring efforts.
He spent thousands of dollars improving this section, which is now one of the city's finest suburban sections.
This addition was made part of Erie in 1907.
On Feb. 8, 1909, Mr. Weschler purchased the Tabernacle Church property which he converted into a modern vaudeville
house, known as the Colonial Theatre. It is located on the west side of Peach Street between Ninth and Tenth streets,
and is among Erie's attractive theatres.
