Sutton-Ditz House

The Sutton-Ditz House is a two-and-a-half-story brick building with a columned porch and sandstone foundation in Clarion, Pennsylvania. The exterior displays decorative brick patterns while the interior retains original hardwood floors and period furnishings from the 1800s.

Thomas Sutton Jr. built this house in 1847 during Clarion's early development as a town. John Ditz acquired the property in the early 1900s and carried out extensive upgrades to the building.

The house operates today as a museum run by the Clarion County Historical Society, displaying how people lived in the 19th century through period furnishings and objects. Visitors can see the daily life and domestic habits of people who lived here generations ago.

The museum is located on Grand Street next to the Public Square and opens for visits during scheduled hours. The interior spaces are accessible and showcase authentic details from different periods of domestic life.

The facade displays a distinctive polychrome brick pattern in Flemish bond style that was carefully laid by skilled workers during construction. This decorative detail shows the craftsmanship that went into building homes of that era.
