The Chebeague Island Community Center is the home of the Chebeague Island Hall, Library, and Council. The oldest portion was built on the site of the Golden Cross Hall, which burned in 1927. Originally a private club, the Chebeague Hall Company agreed to change its status to a nonprofit in 1977 and become part of the new Community Center. Barton Curit donated the adjacent lot for future expansion. In the early 1980s, the first public fundraising effort of its kind on the island secured money for the initial improvements to the building, including hot water and indoor toilets. The long-dreamed-of Library and Council additions were finally realized in 1990. This much used building has worn many hats, including serving as an Army barracks during World War II, and is arguably the heart of community life. - --Information provided by Sylvia Ross
