    A church built in 1893–1895; the architects were Owsley & Boucherle (the Owsley being Charles H. Owsley) of Youngstown. Later additions were designed by Ralph Adams Cram of Cram & Ferguson. The church has a 35-bell carillon that, according to the church’s Web site, is still in working order.

  • Whitla Mansion

    Whitla mansion

    A very shingly house designed by Charles H. Owsley, who would also design the Buhl mansion across the street; this one was built in about 1890. The restoration of the house was done on a budget that did not permit custom windows to fit in the arches, but much of the most characteristic detail has been preserved.

  • Elizabeth E. Haywood Mansion

    Elizabeth E. Haywood house

    Elizabeth E. Haywood was a rich widow who hired Owsley & Boucherle to design this comfortable mansion for her, which was built in 1901. When she died in 1924, she left the house to be a home for retired Presbyterian ministers and their wives—an important charity in the days when ministers usually lived in manses provided by their churches, and had nowhere to go when they retired. The parts that were originally wood have been covered with cheap materials, but the general form of the house is still intact.
