Moving day for Appledore!
The Tenacre community had the opportunity to witness a feat of engineering when the process of moving Appledore forward 150 feet was started. Appledore, built in 1880, is an historic building located on Tenacre campus. It served as the home for Tenacre heads of school from 1952 to 2023. Once the process of moving the structure is complete, it will be renovated for office space. The process of moving the building was slow, but that did not deter the enthusiasm of students who watched. There was plenty of cheering and energy as the community gathered to watch. -
