Built 10 years after the founding of the village, this 175 year old log house is one of the oldest existing structures in Elora. It served as the Common and then the Boys’ School until 1866. A branch of the County Grammar School shared the building, educating students from the surrounding countryside. Its association with the efforts of Scottish pioneers to provide education for their children and its early log structure, make this a community treasure that must not be demolished.

ACO Guelph Wellington (Ian Rankine and Beverly Cairns with Susan Thorning and Bob Jackson) supported Wellington Heritage Centre request for designation and opposition to owner’s application for demolition permit. September 25, 2018, Centre Wellington Council passed a motion of intent to Designate 37 McNab Street under the Ontario Heritage Act.
