Hundreds of people flocked to Pinner on Saturday to get a taster of works being done on one of the village's biggest projects.
West House, which is based in Pinner Memorial Park, opened its doors to the public for the first time and nearly three hundred people turned out for guided tours.
Almost £900,000 has already been raised to turn the building into a museum and art gallery which will showcase illustrator Heath Robinson's works.
However, money is still desperately needed to complete the building, which could be finished in six months if the remaining cash is raised.
Cynthia Wells, who is a member of the trust which has campaigned to carry out the project was delighted with the success of the open day.
She said: "It was absolutely brilliant, I think people were very surprised at just how fantastic West House will be when it is complete.
"Money is still desperately needed to finish it though and we are always extremely grateful for donations."
West House will open again for tours on Sunday (22) which will run from 11am to 1pm.
