Wayside Cottage to be Taken Over by Junior League
After a long vacancy since the Scarsdale Library left Wayside Cottage in 1951, the Junior League will assume custodianship to restore and preserve the historic building. The deed to the site requires it be used for educational and historical purposes and a civic center, with funds needed for renovation and ongoing maintenance. The Woman's Club declined a fundraising drive, prompting the search for an organization to handle restoration and operation.
