HISTORIC COAL BARON E.E. WHITE MANSION Overlooking the village of Glen White, the historic former residence of coal baron E.E. White surveys the valley in which he established one of the state's most progressive mining concerns. Though the Industrial Revolution has long since passed, the opulence that exemplified the high-water mark of the age remains everywhere apparent in this home. Little expense was spared in its construction. A ballroom, golden-oak woodwork, and a colonnaded portico are among the hallmarks of the residence. Christened ''Maplecrest,'' the Colonial Revival landmark sits on a knoll surrounded by towering maples; planted by designers to shade the lawn in summer, they ensure comfort through the warmest months.
