For sometime, the Legion Post meetings were held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms in the Faust Building. On May 6, 1945, The Legion House Committee headed by Robert Steele recommends acceptance of the offer of the Taylor estate of the "Kingdom" property on East Main Street. The building was converted into new quarters for the Legion after agreeing to pay the inheritance tax. Donations from our first post commander, Charles Darlington, and others made this possible. The home was built by pioneer powder maker, Joseph Warren King in 1850 when he came to Greene County to establish a powder plant at Goes, Ohio under the name of the Miami Powder Company. Mr. and Mrs. Frank McLaughlin were installed as first caretakers of the Kingdom.
