Halifax Waterfront Buildings

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 building 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 entrepreneur, Enos Collins.

Édifices des quais de Halifax

Cette partie du littoral a été le témoin d’événements qui ont marqué l’histoire d’Halifax depuis ses origines jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces sept bâtiments typiques, érigés entre 1815 et 1905, servirent d’entrepôts et de bureaux à des marchants et à des sociétés internationales de commerce et de navigation. Cet immeuble de grès rouge abrita les locaux de la compagnie de navigation Pickford & Black (1876-1968). En face se trouvaient le siège social de la Halifax Banking Company, première banque de la Nouvelle-Écosse (1825-1908), et le bureau de son principal promoteur, Enos Collins.
