the YWCA at Huff Mansion
the YWCA Westmoreland County offers beautiful historic settings
for your special event
Historic Huff Mansion The house was designed in 1900 for Mr. and Mrs. William Huff by the noted architect, Ralph Adams Cram. According to legend, Huff was a friend of the architect and letters have been found confirming the plans of Huff and Cram dating back to 1888. The original plans were found behind a drawer in the library, crushed and dirty, as if they have been lost
for years. The mansion is of Neo-Classical Jeffersonian design with four ionic columns. There are fourteen rooms in the Huff Mansion including the basement, five bedrooms, five bathrooms, living room, music room and an upstairs living room. The front stairway leading to the second
floor is thought to be the only free standing staircase r e m a i n i n g i n Westmoreland County. The foyer windows are leaded as is the skylight on the second floor. The woodwork in the music room and library is mahogany and the basement,
consisting of a game room and ballroom. The Huff Mansion has been the headquarters for the YWCA of Westmoreland County since 1970. The mansion remains decorated in the era in which it was
constructed with some of the original furnishings and pictures still in the house. Little renovations have been done to the mansion over the past 100 years. In the mid 1990s the YWCA tore down the old carriage house and built a 4,000 square foot a d d i t i o n onto the o r i g i n a l b u i l d i n g . The new
addition included a large multi-purpose room, a new reception area, an entire preschool facility as well as an expanded parking lot to better serve the needs of members and the community.
