Steeped in history, built and maintained on love, the Buhl Mansion promises grand memories of a lifetime.

Here in the westernmost part of Pennsylvania sits one of the most elegant, romantic properties in the United States. How it came to do so mirrors the story of America -- its triumphs, its periods of defeat and struggle, and most important, its vitality and offer of second chances. A few years ago, the mansion built by steel magnate Frank H. Buhl was a dilapidated eyesore that had defaulted into the hands of a struggling little city. With no money to save it, the city seemed to have no choice but to demolish it. But just before the mansion was lost forever, a Horatio Alger-type stepped forward. James E. Winner Jr., a dirt-poor farm boy from nearby Transfer, Pa., had made a fortune inventing the Club, a device to prevent car thefts. He loved the town of Sharon and agreed to save one of its most precious historic assets. Today, some millions of dollars later, the Buhl Mansion has returned to its original glory. Whatever it is they've spent, they've done Sharon, and those who stay there, a major favor.
