MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—Rising with quiet grandeur at 416 East Church Street, the Huber Historic Home has stood as a symbol of craftsmanship, industry, and community since 1908. Built by Frank Huber—son of Edward Huber, known as Marion’s “Father of Industry”—this three-story Federalist brick mansion reflects both architectural excellence and the ambition of a growing American city.
Designed by an architect and constructed for $25,000, the 8,226-square-foot residence showcases the finest materials of its era: hand-carved woodwork, marble, stained glass, detailed wainscoting, crown and dental molding, and five sets of operating double pocket doors. A grand staircase welcomes guests beneath exquisite original chandeliers, while a hand-crafted fireplace mantel imported from Germany anchors the living room. The barrel ceiling in the den and hand-painted windows along the staircase landing remain breathtaking testaments to early 20th-century artistry.
Frank Huber served as President of the Marion Steam Shovel Company, Vice President of Fahey Bank, and was a close friend of President Warren G. Harding, even serving on the committee to build the Harding Memorial. His wife, Nona Fahey, was the daughter of Timothy Fahey, founder of Fahey Bank, making the home deeply woven into Marion’s civic and financial history.
Owned since 2011 by Bob and Connie Goyer, the mansion has been thoughtfully preserved and modernized with updated HVAC systems and flexible floor separations. Today, it thrives as both a private residence and income-producing venue—hosting weddings, tours, and gatherings—while standing proudly just steps from the Harding Presidential Center and Marion Public Library.
At the Huber Historic Home, you don’t just visit history—you become part of it.
