Comment on Craik-Patton House – Charleston, WV by Martha Hamman

Well I feel like I have come home in away. My Mother (Irene I Craik) came from KS. many years ago. That branch of the family settled in S.CA. area. Her brother was named Darrell Craik and he is the inventor of the “O” ring for the space shuttle. He was a very kind gentleman.

My other Uncle–Paul Craik delivered cleaning to the Patton home in Pasadena Ca—Patton had a sister that answered the door. According to my uncle and another friend she was a very imposing woman.

Its has been wonderful running across your site.

According to my grandparents there was a wing of the family that went to Canada—

I attended the opening of the Craik-Patton home with my grandfather Edward W Craik son of James Craik. Having toured many historic homes in and around Louisville Ky,I was equally impressed by this home. There are only a few Craiks left and we are very proud of our heritage. I do attend Christ Church Cathedral, the church that my great-grandfather Rev. James came to Lou. to lead. If you enjoy touring historic homes this is a can’t miss. Please stop by and picnic in the front yard before you tour the home. We receive no money so don’t think that I’m just drumming up business.

My father, Paul Vaughan, AIA, did a considerable amount of research and was the primary architect involved in the restoration of the Craik-Patton Home. I personally remember when the house was used as a dance studio on East Lee Street, one block east of the old Charleston High School. My dad showed me the reference books he used to make the restoration as authentic as possible. I have never been inside the house and would love to see what the senior Vaughan accomplished.
