Summary:
Nova Scotia has a rich heritage of houses dating from the 1700s. Here, the best examples of every important house style over the past 250 years are brought together in full colour. The authors have travelled to all parts of the province to select the finest examples of architectural heritage. Most of these buildings are accessible to the public and some have been carefully restored, allowing you to revisit the way people lived in Nova Scotia’s past. The authors detail how each house style reached Nova Scotia, identifying not only characteristic features but variants unique to the province. They explain how new technologies have affected architectural style, and how the most available building material — wood — was used for houses designed to be constructed of brick, stone and mortar.
