Society to the Rescue
When word spread that the abandoned former sexton’s house was going to be demolished by St. Andrew’s Church, the Scarborough Historical Society took a lease on the former sexton’s house and former Centennial Memorial Library in 1980.

Members to the Rescue
While there was no rental income from the old library building, it did allow us to store materials salvaged from demolished buildings such as doors accumulated by the Society and stored at the museum, in members’ basements and our old Archives location at Golf Road school. When St. Andrew’s church did not offer to renew the lease on the two buildings, we had restored and maintained for over 30 years, we were forced to move everything our of the building.

Society and Board members came to the rescue during the summer and moved everything out but now we need to find a new home for some of the items. A few items were sold earlier, some building materials donated to Society members for their recycling projects and some materials moved the the basement of the Archives.
