The Horace S. Harsha House, built around 1891, is a good representative of Queen Anne architecture, and eclectic mixture of elements popular in turn-of-the-century Michigan. It is one of the best preserved examples of its type and period in Charlevoix and was associated with a prominent local businessman. Harsha was partner in several real estate and insurance firms, owned an independent firm, and was involved with bank at various times in his life. He also served as city clerk in 1907-1908.
Granddaughter Ann Harsha donated the Victorian style house to the Charlevoix Historical Society in 1979 to be used as a museum. Rent from two apartments provides funds to help maintain the grounds and building.
