It wasn't long before Braemar became the cultural center of Pacific Beach, which was made up mostly of fruit orchards at the time. Early residents enjoyed holiday functions and birthday parties to which all the children in the beach area were invited. In the mid-1920's the dining room, now the Rose Creek Cottage 1900 was added on so Mrs. Scripps could entertain in an even grander fashion.

In 1955, Rose Creek Cottage 1900 was sold by the Scripps to Vernon Taylor & Clinton McKinnon for a proposed hotel. The old house was razed in 1959 to make way for the Catamaran Hotel. The dining room was spared and served as the Catamaran Wedding Chapel for three decades.

In 1985, Rose Creek Cottage 1900 stood in the way of a planned hotel expansion and was sighted for demolition. This fact was discovered by Eve Anderson, a member of the Pacific Beach Town Council. Vern Taylor and his sister Erma Taylor O'Brien underwrote the cost of moving the chapel to a vacant lot at Grand Ave. & Bayard Ave. where it sat until a new location could be found.

Pacific Beach Town Council President, Jeff Sykes, and his successor Jim Moore searched unsuccessfully for a location for the cottage and time was running out. With days to spare, Representative, Bill Lowery convinced the Navy to allow the cottage to be moved to the property the Navy-owned along Rose Creek. On October 30, 1986, the cottage was razed once again and moved right down Garnet Ave two miles east to its present location.

Led by Jim Moore, now President of the PB Town Council, a team of volunteers got the cottage into place. Nine months of negotiations between the town council, city government and the Navy then took place. The Navy was concerned that, if the cottage was given a "historic" designation they would be unable to get the property back if they needed it. The use of the word "chapel" also created questions about the separation of church.

Once these hurdles were overcome, the PB Town Council then faced the cost of bringing the building up to code. A year after the move donations had reached $16,633. The project was nearly completed when the PB Town Council was presented with a $3,535 sewer hook-up fee. In November of 1987, outgoing City Councilman, Mike Gotch, in one of his last official acts, convinced the city to waive the fee saying, "This is my goodbye".
