| Seaside Hall |
Seaside
Hall, headquarters for the Corps, is located in Stony Creek’s Historic District
and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1875 by
Willoughby Adelbert Wallace as a roller skating rink, it has served as an Odd
Fellows Hall and the union hall for the Stony Creek granite workers. The Corps
purchased Seaside Hall in 1936, and it has been their place of practice and
meetings ever since. It is the building in which many generations of men, both
young & old, have been taught, and in turn teach the art of ancient-style fifing
and drumming. The hall is also the home of The Totoket Ancient Fife & Drum
Corps, an all female corps organized in 1967. These talented women are also
avidly dedicated to the art of ancient fifing and drumming.
| What has been accomplished thus far? |
To date the corps has raised the building, installed granite piers, restored
the first floor and made improvements to the second floor meeting space.
The building has been brought up to code including new handicap access. To
complete the project, the final phase will include exterior painting and
repairs.
