Description

A colour photograph of the Jabez Lynde House being moved down Cochrane Street towards its new permanent location at the southwest corner of Brock and Burns Streets. In this view Whitby Hydro trucks are moving the power lines to allow for the house to move through.

Notes

The Lynde House was built during the War of 1812 and moved to Cullen Gardens on 2 August 1986. In June 1988, it was opened as a museum and closed in 2005 when Cullen Gardens was sold to the Town of Whitby. In the Spring of 2013 Whitby Council approved the relocation of the Lynde House from Cullen Gardens to the southwest corner of Brock and Burns Streets. It will be used as the new location for the Whitby Historical Museum.
