Free Press Staff Photo By MIKE JOHNSTON Free Press Staff Now that the Lynde House relocation con- troversy between the town and the Whitby Historical Society bas been settled with the town. moving the bouse to- Cullen Gardens, discussion is underway on the future role of the bouse. The two sides talked about that role during a private meeting held af- ter Iast week's operations committee meeting. Town clerk Don McKay said thé' meeting was private between tbe two because of their- past relationshlp in dealings with the Lynde House. (The town wanted it moved to Cullen Gar- dens because it feit the bouse was in danger of being demolished and the society wanted it to remain at its Hwýy. 2 and D'HilIer site, believing negotiations could keep it from being demclished.) McKay said the meeting was flot on tbe committee's agenda because it was not a decision making meeting. "Any decisions wiil be made in public," sald MeKay. "We didn't know bow the meeting would. go but they were quite receptive," he said. Thât -'remark was reiterated by the president of tbe society, Bull Oyagi. "The meeting went very weil, " be said. McKay said the discussion revolved around choosing a timne period for the house, what artifacts- the society would display in the bouse, if any, and the administration of the bouse. Bill Oyagi "We recommended a period from 1812 to around 1895,"l said Oyagi. "The bouse was built in 1812. Tben the first Lynde, died In- 1853 and the last Lynde lived in the bouse in 1895, " be explained. He said the time period would be sensible in lieu of the town's recent decision to of- ficiaily name the bouse the Lynde House Museum. However, the problem witb artlfacts for the bouse, accordlng to Oyagi, i s that the society only bas enougb to fi four rooms wblle the bouse bas elght. "So there wonIt be enough to fil the bouse no matter wbat perlod is chosen,"I said Oyagi. He also said that sbould the executive of the society decide to display artifacts ln the bouse, they would only be on loan to the town. The society is currently looking into-areas ln the town to support a *cgin- munity rmuseum when that opens the society wiil move ail its artifac- ts toit. A study recommen- ding possible sites for that museum should be ready by tbe end of the year, said Oyagi. Opening held for temporary Wbitby Museum location.
