Fabulous North Wales
Being Restored Again

WARRENTON, Va, Feb. 2s-North Wales for years Just

and restored to halt the l0-year inroads Of decay.

plete deterioration, which local
residents figured was inevitable.
The S.Se7ia -acre property Of
North Wales was purchased in
November by q corporation,
known as Parkwood, Inc, and
headed by a Washington at
torney, Victor j. Orsinger. Orig
inally valued by Mr.. Chrysler at
more than 81 million. the his
toric show place repeatedly had
another SIS million lavished
on improvements by the Chrys-
elrs.
Actually the mansion itself

Zone Of them with solid gold
hxtures)--was In good shape
until its most famous tenant
gave UP his summer home"
ofacially two years ago. His
family hadn't spent much
time in 1t for seven years, and
the lack Of occupancy was be-
ginning to tell on the old
house. It was left unheated
for q long time and many pipes
burst. even a tremendous stor-
age tank in the attic which
ruined ceilings and floors over
o large area.
vandals Got Busy
Vandals did their part, too,
toward North Wales down
fall. The house was stripped
of everything movable and
quite a few things not so NOV
able. The fact that the gold
bathroom fixtures remained
was q tribute to the perma-
nency Of their installation. Not
much else survived.
Seventy odd outbuildings
(227 boxstalls, dozens of cot
tages, Offices, laboratories,
chicken houses and turkey
houses were given a thorough
going-over by ransackers who,
according to the natives,
"swiped everything but the
trees" Windows were broken
all over the farm, and the
grandeur that was North Wales
declined steadily.
Mr.. Chrysler sold his hold
ings to former Representative
Victor z. Wickersham in 1857,
who purchased 1t with the ex-
pressed plan of reselling it
cas- soon as we can get 1t fixed

Fence Was Keynote
But deterioration was moving
In fast. The % miles Of white

expensive features which was

set the keynote, and Warrenton

the cost of repairs now being

years.
"And not only do we realize
that the rebuilding Is necessary
we also have q feeling of
responsibility for the fast-dis-
appearing heritage connected
with the place. After all. the
estate started in 17l2; it's hard
to be Indifferent about such
tradition"

and in ls49 they turned to beef

Interest Waned
It wasn't long before the.
Chryslers' interest In North
Wales waned. They conferred
their attention on various other
homes they maintained on Q
year-round basis. and North
Wales was taken over mostly by
memories and termites. Finally.
1t was sold to Mr.. Wicker

Mr.. Orsinger.
I'VE were determined to have
people occupying the tenant
houses" he said. because
we're sure that people. no mat
ter who they are, treat houses
better than the elements do.
Practically everything on North
Wales was in disrepair, and
we're doing everything we can
to bring 1t back.
The future?
About $500 acres we hope
to sell for estates" he said. I'm
the spring, we hope to start
dividing it into 50-acre farms
for homes costing around $751;
900 to 100000.
"The Kennels"
1.-THE plans for the mansion
itself are long-range, but we
hope to interest some large
foundation in a non-sectarian

ter for younger, disturbed and
troubled children" Mr.. Orsinger
declared.
The cost Of maintaining fine
old Virginia traditions is con-
siderable; the mansion is now
being heated, in the interest of
preservation, for about $500 per
month.
There are many refinements
not to be found in split level

the 32-inch stone walls that

Earlier Col. Parkin gave the
youthful rocketeers a dramatic
demonstration of the danger of
unsupervised missile firings. He
placed two paper-stuffed mani
kins beside the launching pad
and then purposely exploded a

The dummies were demolished,
But despite this. the prevail

Spectators Cheer
Spectators who lined the
bunkers some 200 yards from
the launching pad munched hot
dogs. drank soda and cheered
when there was a successful
firing.
For the young missile men
however. the launchings were
serious business. Members OF
