Chandlery Corner consists of three historic buildings located at Erie, Erie County, Pennsylvania. They are the Peter Rockwell House, Frederick Schneider House, and Schneider / Kessler Chandlery. The Peter Rockwell House was built in 1832, as a Federal style brick townhouse It was modified for commercial use about 1865, to be a 2 1/2-story, commercial building with a mansard roof. The Frederick Schneider House was built in 1846, is a two-story, five bay, brick dwelling in the Greek Revival style. The Schneider / Kessler Chandlery was built in 1851, is a three-story, six bay, brick commercial building. The buildings are reflective of the 19th century business district of Erie. It was named Chandlery Corner because it is the site of the plant and store of Erie's first soap and candle maker.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
