Meanwhile, Pritchard and several members of what he calls his “inter-racial, international think tank, continue to reside at Applecrest.The mansion was designed in the 1920s by architect Wellington Ward. In the 1930s, the husband of Elsa Von Kahre-Richardesbought Applecrest for use as a summer home. He reportedly paid only $31,000.Pritchard has said the mansion was used by the Von Kahre-Richardes as “a place where people from the United Nations came to have off-the-record conversations because they thought the U.N. was bugged.”He entered the house in 1948 as a teen-age piano prodigy. The Von Kahre-Richardes paid for his education and training. After spending several years touring the world as a pianist and conductor, Pritchard returned to Applecrest in 1969 and has operated his foundation from there ever since.ROBERT PRITCHARDClaims Tax-Exempt Status
