Halifax ~ Day 2
HALIFAX WATERFRONT BUILDINGS
Government of Canada - 1975
From the founding of Halifax in 1749 until the early twentieth century, this portion of the waterfront was associated with men and events prominent in the civic and commercial life of the city. These seven typical warehouses and offices, erected between 1815 and 1905, housed individual merchants as well as international trading and shipping companies. This ironstone buildings housed the office of the shipping firm, Pickford & Black (1876-1968). The building opposite was headquarters of the Halifax Banking Company, the first bank established in Nova Scotia (1825-1908) and of its leading entrepreneurs Enos Collins.
Sat for about an hour watching the boats, the dogs and everyone enjoying the beautiful warm day at Queen’s Marque. The beautiful but cold water of the Atlantic Ocean was very refreshing!!
