Malverne Historical & Preservation Society—The Society was founded on August 11, 1986. The Restoration, officially the Malverne Historical & Preservation Society/Joseph L. Landers Memorial Restoration, dates back to 1854 when eight acres of land were deeded to Samuel B. Shannon on which he built an English style "wing house." Mr. Shannon's heirs in 1920/1921 sold the property to Paul Lindner who owned Norwood. The following year, Paul Lindner sold the property to Melissa Ann Gregory, who, in 1924, sold it to a Dr. Christopher Stapleton and his wife Alice Sepple. In 1950, the deed to the property was transferred to the Stapleton's daughter, Alice Stapleton Walls, who lived there until her death in 1995. On February 23, 1996, the Malverne Historical & Preservation Society, purchased the house to be used as a restoration to display the society's memorabilia and collection. The Restoration was officially opened on June 2, 1996. The house was named in memory of Mrs. Landers' husband Joseph L. Landers, a father and forty-three-year resident of Malverne.
