Description
177 East Blithedale. This photo shows a single story,cream stucco building with matching gables right and left and a set-back central entry door. Each side of the building has a matching large multi-paned window. The enclosed description from the 1983 Walk into History reads, "Scout Hall. The site is thought to have been occupied by a saloon known as McGinnis' Tavern at the turn of the century. It may also have been the location of a saloon operated by a Mr. Dougherty. Other recollections have it as a laundry and a livery stable with access to Mountain View Avenue. By 1919 it belonged to the Keiler family, who donated the property to the Boy Scouts of America at that time. The front rooms are a more recent renovaton. The building is used for a variety of functions; as a polling place, for rummage sales, pancake breakfasts and as a community meeting place as well as its primary function as a scout headquarters."
