Hello,
I came across this website when looking for information on restoring Heritage Buildings in Calgary.
I hope you all can help me.
John Glenn, who donated the land this church (mentioned in the above article) [ edit: St Pat's article here http://www.calgaryheritage.org/CHIForum/vi ... .php?t=158 ] is built on, was the first European settler in the Calgary area.
Since 1999 John and Adelaide Glenn's first homestead, a log cabin, has been languishing in storage at Fish Creek Park. I have spoken with the site manager and the 200 to 300 thousand dollars required to reconstruct this building just isn't in the budget.
John Glenn is my Great Great Grandfather, so I also have a personal interest in seeing it reconstructed.
I intend to raise the funds, however I don't even know where to start. I am hoping that some of you with experience in this area can help me.
Any and all suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you for your help,
Maureen Marshall
