PANDORA, OH (WLIO) - A long-time nursing and assisted living space in Putnam County has found a buyer. The Hilty Home Building in Pandora has been sold to the village. The sale was completed earlier this month. It includes the sixty-thousand-square-foot building along with two adjacent parcels of land donated to the village by the Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio. The village is teaming up with the Putnam County Community Improvement Corporation to figure out how best to use the building. The Hilty Memorial opened back in 1979 after retired teacher Margaret Hilty left her estate to the missionary church east central district to establish a nursing home, "like the Mennonites did in Bluffton."
