Your Granville History reporter spoke with John Devine, a member of the successful bidder's family, as he exited Town Hall. His big smile told the story. When asked what the plan was for the school he indicated the intention is to renovate the building. This would be a big plus for West Granville, in this writer's opinion. The Devines are a contracting family with a home base in West Granville so the school is remaining in local hands.

Another member of the Devine family presently owns the adjacent property at 27 Beech Hill Road, known to most people as Ernie Sattler's old house, which is another fine historic structure which has undergone needed repairs during its current ownership.

Congratulations to the Devine family on today's purchase.
