An ostentatious Queen Anne house built in 1901; the architects were Miller & Ford of Youngstown with C. R. Dennison as associate architect. It has been restored with bits and pieces from another less fortunate mansion nearby.

The Buhl Mansion on a Snowy Evening
The grandest house in Sharon, the Buhl mansion was built for Frank H. Buhl, owner of the Sharon Iron Works and de facto lord of Sharon. Buhl had his favorite architect, Charles H. Owsley, design the house. We’ll see much more of it, but here are a few moody pictures at twilight on a snowy evening.

A Whirlwind Tour of the Architecture of Sharon
Old Pa Pitt usually publishes pictures of Pittsburgh, but in the winter of 2026 he spent a whole day, plus an evening and a morning, in Sharon, a city in the Shenango Valley notable for its unusually fine collection of architectural landmarks. He spent that time wandering around the city and accumulated hundreds of pictures—enough that he had to build a whole new site to hold them. He hopes to return soon, and when he does he will add to the site.
Much of the information that goes with the pictures comes from the Sharon Historical Society, which published nineteen “History Walk” booklets available from local businesses. Father Pitt bought half a dozen of them, covering the areas he visited, because they are models of the genre and stuffed with good information.
