Neatly restored and repurposed as an office building. We can recognize an Odd Fellows hall by the emblem of the Odd Fellows, the chain with three links.

Sunshine Home
This classical building is marked “Sunshine Home” on a Sanborn map from 1920, and that is all old Pa Pitt knows about it. Perhaps a local historian can enlighten us. The second floor, with its tall windows, looks like an assembly room or lodge hall.

F. H. Buhl Club
Frank H. Buhl gave this club for the innocent recreation of the men of Sharon, so they would not have to spend their evenings in saloons drinking and getting into even worse trouble. As the Buhl Community Recreation Center, it is still going; it now admits women as well. The original building was put up in 1902; the architect was Buhl’s favorite, Charles H. Owsley of Owsley & Boucherle in Youngstown.1
- The SAH Archipedia article on the Buhl Club attributes it to Charles F. Owsley, son of Charles H., but that is almost certainly a mistake in the easily confused middle initial. Charles F. was only 22 years old in 1902, and he had not yet joined his father’s firm. ↩︎
