Its appearance gives one the impression that no expense and no thought has been spared in its erection; and the impression is strengthened by the spacious courts, the driveways, and the artistically arranged shrubbery and lawns which surround the house. This structure is fittingly called the Purchase Com- munity House. It was planned for the people of Purchase, N. Y,, by a public spirited resident. From the beginning recreational and social activities have therefore played a large part in the program. Movies, dances, social evenings and concerts often fill the auditorium on the first floor. The Men's and Wom- en's associations meet in the special club rooms provided for their activ- ities. The folk-dancing classes for girls and women meet in the gym- , nasium located under the assembly hall and the domestic art and cook- ing classes in the well-equipped kitchen which is also located in the basement. Across the street an extensive tract of land has seen laid out for the children's gardens, and prizes are offered each year for the best one. Saturday Roadside markets are held when the flowers and vegetables raised in the gardens are sold. Besides acting as the center for the varied activities of the community, the house is the headquarters of the local American Legion Post and the Girl and Boy Scouts; it is also the residence of the school mistress, the house director and the visiting nurse. A music teacher has recently been engaged to come to the house every Saturday morning to give lessons to the children of the town whose par- ents are able to pay the reasonable fee. Considerable time is given to the work of the house by the men and women of the community. The growth of social and recreational co- operation between all members of the neighborhood insures the per- manent carrying out of the purpose of the man who planned the Purchase Community House."
