Frank Huber Residence

The Frank Huber Residence, also known as Gala Hall and the old Ohio Water Company building, is a historic residential building at East Church and Greenwood Streets in Marion, Ohio. It was designed by Richards, McCarty & Bulford and owned by Frank A. Huber, the businessman son of industrialist Edward Huber.
The home includes ornate woodwork and a stairway with a second floor landing lit by expansive hand painted windows on both sides.

It is located at 416 East Church Street.
Richards, McCarty & Bulford designed the Huber Building in Marion and the Frank Huber Residence at about the same time (the firm also designed the Marion Public Library located kittycorner from the home). The Huber Building was contracted for $250,000 and the Frank Huber Residence for $25,000. Davis Krause of 61 North Terrace Avenue received the mason contract for the brick and stone building. Frank Huber married Nona Fahey, daughter of Timothy Fahey, on April 27, 1893. They had three children: Mary Faye, Edward T. and Francis B.<ref name=progress/>
