Mast was born in 1825 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and came to Clark County, Ohio in 1830. 1 He later formed a partnership with John H. Thomas, formed the Thomas & Mast Company, and began manufacturing agricultural equipment. He bought out his partner in 1871 and established the P.P. Mast & Company. Mast also founded the Mast-Foos Manufacturing Company in 1876 and produced engines, pumps, plows, and mowers, and the P.P. Mast Buggy Company. Mast hired John S. Crowell to start the Farm and Fireside magazine in October 1877, which promoted agricultural interests. 1 The firm was known as Mast, Crowell & Kirkpatrick by 1883, and had acquired Woman’s Home Companion and other publications. The company later became Crowell & Collier, the largest Publishing Firm in the US. Mast then desired a home fitting for his status as an industrialist and sought out acreage on the highest knoll in the area. 1 3 He hired Lon Krider and Charles Cregar in 1881 4 to design a residence modeled after a castle in Italy that he had admired during his travels to Europe. 3 He hired 29 Italian emigrants to build the stonework and woodwork for the residence, modeled after a castle in Italy that Mast had admired during his travels in Europe. Mast also brought on A.H. Mittendorf, a well-known woodworker from Dayton, to hand carve and build the interior woodwork. The first two floors were dedicated to Mast’s living quarters, while the third floor was a ballroom. The first and second floors featured coal-burning fireplaces, each with its own style of a mantel and mirror, and imported stained glass from France. Mast served on the city council for 22 years and was mayor from 1895-97. 1 He died in 1898. 2
