Shorac (Steubenville Chapel Formerly McClave)

| 611 North Fourth Street | Steubenville, OH 43952 | (740) 282-2717 |

The house was originally built in 1902 as the home of John A. Mansfield who was the Jefferrson County Probate Judge.  Judge Mansfield had aspirations of running for govenor.  The portico was added to the building due to his intentions.  It later was sold to the owners of Chicago Wall Paper Co. before it became a funeral home in 1940.

 

The former McClave Funeral Home  was the oldest funeral business in Steubenville, with roots in the 1895 establishment of a funeral home by D.F. Coe on North Fifth Street. Ira C. McClave joined the Coe Funeral Home as an apprentice funeral director and embalmer on November 5, 1906.  The business moved to what was the W.H. Lowe residence on Market Street, now occupied by the City Rescue Mission, on September 1, 1915. McClave and F.D. Hennesy bought the Coe Funeral Home January 1, 1924, and McClave assumed full ownership in 1928, with the funeral home renamed McClave Funeral Home.

Shorac Funeral Homes acquired the McClave-Chandler-Mills Funeral Home, in the North End historic district on June 20, 2008.
