The Pat hits the auction block
By Jeff Davis, The StarPhoenix February 8, 2013
Quote:
All equipment at the much-beloved and recently closed Patricia Hotel - even the kitchen sink - will be auctioned off next week, clearing the way for "the Pat" to be razed.
The mix of goods can only be called eclectic. Up for sale are bar taps, flatscreen TVs, wall decorations, kitchen equipment, foosball tables and even the Pat's old Ice-O-Matic.
Auctioneer Terry McDougall, owner of McDougall Auctioneers Saskatoon Ltd., said the sale is being rushed because the building's new owners are keen to tear down the historic property.
"The demolition starts on the 17th or 18th of this month," he said.
The building has been purchased by a newly registered corporation called The Patricia Group, according to David Bakonyi, who spoke on behalf of the company.
Bakonyi said a Vancouver-based group of investors will not speak about their plans for the site until "the dust settles a bit."
The auction, taking place Wednesday, will be conducted online, McDougall said.
"People can sign up on our website and bid, just like eBay," he said. "Highest bid wins."
Photos of the roughly 800 lots are being posted online, but prospective buyers will also have a chance to inspect the lots in person by visiting the Pat one last time on Tuesday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
