The Society for the Preservation of Dr. Graham's Homes (SPDGH)
Preserving a Legacy of Love, Hope and Familyhood
Celebrating 125 Years of Legacy!
On the occasion of the 125th birthday of Dr. Graham’s Homes, the Society for the Preservation of Dr. Graham’s Homes (SPDGH) invites you to a special auction gathering at the Rillie Picnic Spot on 26th September, 2025. This event is more than a fundraiser—it is a celebration of memory, place, and the enduring spirit of the Homes.
At the heart of the auction are four remarkable properties: a coastal retreat in Goa, a windswept haven in Islay, a historic residence in Edinburgh, and a scholarly sanctuary in Oxford. In addition to these, many other items will be available for bidding—each one offered in the spirit of rebuilding, remembrance, and renewal. Your participation helps restore the Steele Memorial Hospital/Centre and honors 125 years of care and community.
The four featured properties are listed below, each with full details, images, and bidding information. Whether you’re drawn to the coastal calm of Goa, the windswept solitude of Islay, the historic charm of Edinburgh, or the scholarly quiet of Oxford, each listing offers something distinct and meaningful. These are not just spaces—they’re opportunities to begin again, to invest in restoration, and to be part of a legacy that spans continents and communities.
Take your time as you scroll through. Review the details, explore the images, and let each property speak for itself. Your interest, your bid, your presence—all contribute to the rebuilding of the Steele Memorial Hospital/Centre and the honoring of 125 years of care.
