Harrington House - A Twice Moved Building

Harrington House is a great example of the tradition of salvaging and reusing older building by moving them to a new site. Harrington Presbyterian Church dates back to the 1864 and has been moved twice. Many people recall it as an abandoned yellow church across from the Charlottetown Airport where it sat for several years. It is currently located in Rice Point, Prince Edward Island.



An article on the building and other relocated churches was recently published in Saltscape magazine.

The main website for the property, which is a vacation rental unit, shows the interior and exterior work on Harrington House.
