The Foyer

The ornate front doorway featuring beveled, leaded-glass leads into a center hall and a stairway of carved oak.

The Main Staircase

The main staircase is made of golden oak, accentuated with hand-turned spindles. The landing contains a grandfather's clock made of all Lawrence County hardwood. The portrait is Joseph A. Clavelli, who donated the museum to the Society. The two little children in the photograph are Elizabeth and Leander Raney, who resided in the Raney-Jameson mansion located across the street from the museum. The Raney-Jameson mansion was severely damaged by a fire on June 13, 1998.

The Dining Room

The dining room table is made of walnut. The table was originally in the home of George W. Johnson, founder of the Johnson Limestone Company. The chairs and pedestal are decorated with hand-carved griffins. The table seats fourteen comfortably. The china on the table was made at the Shenango China Company.

The dining room is paneled in mahogany and the glass in the built-in china cupboards and buffet is beveled, leaded-glass made by the Fry Glass Company of Rochester, Pennsylvania. The original owner of the mansion, George Greer, was a member of the board of the Fry Glass Company.

The Library

The library is paneled in mahogany. The doors in the built-in bookcases are comprised of Fry beveled, leaded-glass.

The Drawing Room

Massive Greek columns give the formal drawing room a classical feeling. The drawing room contains a flat-top rosewood baby grand piano that dates to the 1840's. To maintain the aura of elegance, the first floor is furnished much as it was when it was the home of the Greer family.

Upper Hall

On the second floor are ever changing exhibits of the county's heritage. Currently, the exhibit, "The History of Lawrence County", celebrates 200 years of Lawrence history through text, photos, and oral histories.

The Ira D. Sankey Room

The famous reed organ of noted evangelist and gospel hymn composer, Ira D. Sankey, and a display commemorating the county's firework heritage.

China Collection
