Information

222 South Spring is known as the Pratt House. George Pratt served in the Civil war; when he celebrated his 100th birthday, Mr. Pratt was honored with a historic party as the last surviving veteran of the Civil War to be living in La Grange. George Pratt was a Village trustee from 1893 until 1896. The house was also owned by Andrew Mitchell, the Flannigan family, and the Hasselhoff family, whose son is a popular television actor.

Built c. 1870, the house is a vernacular with influences from the Italianate and Second Empire styles. Notable architectural elements include the Mansard Roof, elaborate windows and cornices, brackets in pairs, and two story rounded entrance tower with rounded double doors.
