    The Rucksack Newsletter of the Friends of McNabs Island Society The Society is a registered charity: CCRA number 88847 4194 RR 0001 Volume Twenty Eight Issue Two 2019 McNabs Island Teahouse Transformed by Catherine McCarthy Finally, we have raised enough money to begin to transform the abandoned Island Teahouse into an Island Centre, which will become a focal point for outdoor education and community activities on the island. The location and character of the building has always been the appeal. Planted in the heart of the Hugonin-Perrin Victorian Gardens, this stone building overlooks Halifax Harbour and is not too far from Garrison Pier. John Jenkins, owner of the McNabs Island Ferry Company, built the Tea House in the 1980s. He salvaged stone from some of the nearby foundations to construct the Teahouse that operated as a café until 1994. The stone structure, which resembles a Scottish crofter’s cottage, has been empty for the past 25 years! Friends of McNabs Island volunteers have cleaned out the building, hauled away all the debris and now are ready to give this old building a new life. With the donated professional help of Harvey Architecture and BMR Structural Engineering, we have new plans for the building.
