Read about the referendum
Since 1898, the majestic Victorian located on the
corner of Benton and Wood streets in Palatine has been
admired by many and has become a symbol of Palatine's
heritage.
The Patten House with its white fašade
and 3-story, round turret has recently been placed
on the market. Its future is now uncertain.
PIAC
, along with a group of community members,
have pinpointed the Patten House located close to Village
Hall and the downtown community campus as
an
ideal locale for a magnificent cultural arts center.

This local landmark has architectural significance
and is uniquely endowed to become a cultural arts center
that serves the community. The facility would provide:
-
art classes,
-
small performances for dance,
-
theatre and
-
poetry readings.
Tours would outline the fine historical significance
of the house. Anticipated uses for the expanse of the
property include:
-
a sculpture garden for classes, performances, and
tours
-
rental for weddings or community or corporate
events

as this and your assistance is greatly needed. If you
