Stifel Fine Arts Center

The Stifel Fine Arts Center is run by Oglebay Institute and is located in the Stifel Mansion in Wheeling. The mansion (although a small one) is beautiful and impressive -- Mr. Stifel (who made his money from calico fabrics) was afraid of fire and there is no structural wood in the house itself. There is also an antique Steinway grand in the ballroom, the original carpet on the main staircase, and bedrooms have been turned into galleries and classrooms. The library has collections of Stifel fabrics, photographs and other memorabilia.

Admission to the building is free and no matter what the current exhibit is the house and garden are worth the visit. If you live in the area, or are going to be there for a period of time -- art classes are also available.
