Architecturally stunning, the Stifel Fine Arts Center is located at 1330 National Road and was the former home of industrialist Edward W. Stifel. It became home to Oglebay Institute’s visual and performing arts departments in 1977. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was once known as the Edemar Mansion.
Construction is in progress on the Stifel Center roof restoration project. Guests should be mindful of scaffolding and other new safety features around the building. Accessible parking and entrance are available on the side of the building. A temporary accessible entrance is also available through the basement pottery studio.
