Frank H. Buhl article needed

[edit]

I don't have time to join the Pennsylvania wikiproject group, and my sandbox is already full, but suggest that someone create an article for Frank H. Buhl. The suggestion has previously been made in connection with the golf course, which I also mention more directly in this article. I'm interested in the faith and ethnic communities of the area, which I suspect included Protestants and Orthodox as well as Roman Catholics. I have no idea of Buhl's religious affiliation, but suspect it affected his decision to use his fortune to benefit his neighbors. Still, somehow the mansion itself apparently didn't get included in the trust to benefit those other social activities, or did it? I'm pretty sure the first historic preservation tax breaks were in 1976 and this mansion was restored the following year. I'd also be fascinated to learn about this town in the 1920s and 1930s, particularly in light of the labor unrest after Frank's death, i.e. the First Red Scare in 1919 and the various Youngstown steel strikes.Jweaver28 (talk) 12:29, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
