Description

Why is restoring Green Gables so important?  The rehabilitation and restoration of Green Gables is not just about preserving an old house from the wrecking ball. It is so much more. Green Gables is the 126-year-old historic home of the Wells family, one of the generous benefactors who played a key role in the development of early Melbourne. Their vision and their generosity gifted the area with Wells Park and the first auditorium, the first library, the first high school, and more, all of which have been enjoyed by several generations. We do not want Green Gables to become a distant memory from the past or an archived post. She is still here, still standing, and is patiently waiting to be refurbished to her former glory. She will be a living history museum and community outreach center. There are millions of people who love history. Together we can restore Green Gables and save history.
