Garden Club’s Doll House gets repairs
The Aiken Garden Club Council, in cooperation with the City of Aiken and the Friends of Hopelands and Rye Patch Inc., are sprucing up the Council’s headquarters in Hopelands Gardens.
The Council’s longtime home, the Doll House, is one of the oldest remaining outbuildings on the former Iselin estate, dating back to the early 1900s, according to Friends of Hopelands and Rye Patch President Joe Spencer. All of the outbuildings on the property are showing signs of wear and tear, Spencer said.
“It’s sort of an ongoing situation with Hopelands Gardens and Rye Patch. The buildings are all more than 100 years old,” he said. “The Friends have pushed for not just Band-Aid repairs to the buildings but to upgrade and get everything done right. There are underlying structural things that need to be done in the future.” Full Details….
