Deloraine’s “new” rest room, built in 1929 by the Women’s Institute. After its closure in 1981 it was moved to the local airport for use as a “club room.” Between 1920 and 1929, the rest room had been located in a building moved into town in 1886, possibly from Old Deloraine; it later became Goodine’s Barber Shop.
