I have tried to upload some pics of Green Gables a few times, but I keep getting this error message:

Error 500 - Internal server error

An internal server error has occured!
Please try again later.

any suggestions??

Thank you!

Hi canoe_gurl,
I think Scotto has to give you a hand with the pics, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe he's up north......but hang in there, he'll be sure to pick up on your request.

Did it get demolished???
Yes I'm up in the middle of nowhere, CG you may have your pics too big to post. Email me one and I will have a look when time permits. And it's a slow connection up here, so it may take a bit to see them(Just send one). If not I will be back by Friday.

I drove by on my way to the Dr's office. The building is still standing. The yard is empty and the dumpster is gone now.

Thanks Squirt, I drove by it on my way home and yes, it is still there.
canoe_gurl, if you need a hand with some pictures, please let me know.

 

[canoe_gurl]

Thanks Scotto, I will send one right now

It really is a shame that this place is being torn down in order to build townhomes. It really is a big part of my memories growing up on the beach. Some of the pictures were taken inside the shop, showing the different rooms and sadly some of the destruction created by both people going inside, as well as one of the ceilings caving in just a few days after I was previously in the same room.

It is really amazing that it hasn't gone up in flames by now. I think it is past its prime, and wasn't in too good shape when I used to live at the Beach (pre 1958).

looks like theres some Money to be had if someone had the time to go thru all that neat stuff (like the O gauge rail car on the shelf)

 

[canoe_gurl]

Yes there is still quite a bit left in there. Before it was locked up, Bruce allowed me to go through and take some books and things which I really appreciated, as some of the books are as old as 1890. There is a lot of history in that little place, I will be very sad when it is gone.

Bruce did drop off some old postcards and pictures before he left, which he wanted back after scanning. I have posted these in the Gallery.

If you are around when they demolish the building, please get some pictures.
I will try and get some myself if I'am passing by while it's in progress.

Many, many people went through that place once the owners were out and gone.
A lot more "stuff" was removed.

Do you know the date that it will be demolished? The last I heard there was some conflict between the owners and it was going to be held off until sometime in September. I will definitely be taking pictures as long as my school schedule permits me to be home for it!

I was talking to the operator of the machine that was doing all the clearing of the land. This was about three weeks ago or more, back then he told me that the permit was coming in with in a week and all would be gone.
That was why I thought it was gone when I was on holidays.

Hopefully we can get some shots.

 

[canoe_gurl]

have there been any updates on when the demolition will occur?

 

[canoe_gurl]

The crane has been brought back onto the property, so it might be happening soon

 

[scotto]

It has been there for a week and still no work???

 

[canoe_gurl]

Nope, nothing yet. I didn't realize it was there all week, I just noticed it yesterday

 

[scotto]

It is gone, they demolished the building this afternoon, I guess the house will be next.
