The answer could be in the town accepting the anonymous donation.
They had no way of returning it and felt bound to complete the resurrection of the rotting copse that is the Petch house.

We had the $8,000. anonymous donation. I expect someone knows the donor. An amount like that doesn't change hands that easily.
We also had $50,000. from Whitwell Development.
We had an assurance the structure could be cleaned and restored, despite it's deplorable condition after eight years of mouldering by the wayside.
It would have cost a fraction had it been moved eight years ago.
Money was wasted on a consultant .
A use and a location for the cabin was identified that never was before. Because the obvious person wasn't asked.
The saga is nothing to be proud of but I believe we 're doing it right now.
To the credit of the new Mayor and Council.
We may not do everything the way we all agree is right. But if we move forward an inch we'll be ahead of the last lot.
Wait till you see the old cabin spruced up and in its new pride of place.
Then tell us what you think
And the money solicited at the Farmers' Market ?
