1912 and 1913: GROVEVILLE'S DAVIS' WOODS BECOMES WESLEY GROVE



It's times like these when we need the resources of the over 80 generation. Unfortunately, the number of octogenarians who are computer users is pitifully small. However, were they able to access the graphic above, I would bet that they could shed some light on the Munro House and the Rowan-Willey Chapel pictured in the enhanced photo above. This graphic can be considered a rare historical record of the transition of Groveville's "Davis' Woods" to the popular Wesley Grove of Methodist fame. If there is any Groveville visitor with a relative in the aforementioned age group who might be able to tell us about the two structures in the photo, we would love to hear from you.
(*Well, not necessarily the over 80's generation. Gary Lippincott has come to the fore and brought us up to speed on the two buildings in the photo. Gary has not yet reached octogenarian status.

Thanks for this comment and your historical expertise, Gary:

"The small building was known as the "Young Peoples Temple" and is still in use today. The Munro House was on the first floor a cooking and dinning area, the second was individual rooms accomodating about two people and the top flor was a "Dormitory" type sleeping area for men. Both are mentioned on My "Groveville Memories" site."
