PAGE EIGHT Patton Legionnaires Plan Remodeling Work At Once nine bedrooms, all in different | Long-Range Program Set for Prindible Home The Walter McCoy American Legion Home Assn. in Patton is making plans to transform its newly acquired property into one of the finest Legion Homes in the state, according to officers of the unit. The Legionnaires recently pur- chased the “front mansion” of the Prindible Estate for $35,000. The home originally had some $225, 000 sunk into it. In addition to the large brick mansion, with its six different colored inlaid tile bathrooms and showers, the estate includes 5.32 acres of ground, a small dam, tennis courts, and a large land- scaped wooded area. Home association officials say renovations will be started im- mediately. Under a long-range program the Legion plans to con- struct an addition to the man- sion as a ballroom. Bowling alleys will be placed in the basement, and a swimming pool will replace the present dam in the rear of the Patton landmark. The home was erected in 1926 by George E. Prindible, former Patton banker. It is located at the outskirts of the town along the Patton-Carrolltown Road. Beautiful cut-glass ornamental chandeliers adorn the hallway and each of the downstairs rooms ex- cept the kitchen and sun porch, which is set off by a six-foot brick fireplace. On the second floor there are colors and finished with hard-|lish of the PRR police, wood flooring. Entrance to the mansion is by|trackman for the railroad, had means of a spacious hallway. | Wide steps leading to the second | floor are covered with heavy car- |pets and finished with hand- | carved mahogany banisters and | rails. | At one time the third floor housed a beautiful chapel in which visiting priests celebrated Mass for visitors at the mansion. The altar and vestments were re- moved some years ago. On the third floor also is located a large room completely finished in cedar and said to be completely moth- | proof. Grounds surrounding the man- sion are covered with evergreens, including many white and blue spruce. To the rear in the wood- ed area are hemlock, birch, oak and hickory trees. In this area, the post plans to establish a picnic area. According to present plans, the Legion will convert the three-car garage adjoining the mansion into a grillroom. Other rooms in | the building will be used as pri- vate lounges and small dance | floors. | An architect will be engaged to direct renovations, according to | Walter E. (Dutch) Noonan, man- {ager of the Legion home. Present | membership in the post is 720, {and the home association boasts | over 1,000 members. | The Patton post is one of the few in the nation which pays sick | benefits to members. This pro- | gram was started early this year.
