The offices of the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia

The Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia is a non-profit society dedicated to the advocacy for and conservation of Nova Scotia's architectural and cultural heritage.[1] It was founded in 1959, "in response to the proposed demolition of Enos Collins's Halifax House Gorsebrook," a Georgian-style home that once stood on the present site of Saint Mary's University hockey rink.[1] The Trust has advocated for and assisted in the conservation of numerous heritage buildings and districts in Nova Scotia. Notable examples include The Carleton, Morris House, and Historic Properties.[1][2]

The current president is Sandra L. Barss, a Halifax-based lawyer. The Trust's offices are located in the Thomas Boggs / Lawrence Hartshorne House at 55 Ochterloney Street in the city of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.[3]

The Trust publishes The Griffin, a quarterly magazine, and has published several books on the subject of Nova Scotia's built heritage.[4][5]

Morris House

Morris House is a 2Шаблон:Frac storey, Georgian-style building of wooden construction built in 1764 and shortly thereafter sold to Charles Morris, the first Surveyor General of Nova Scotia, who used it as his office.[6] Morris House was slated for demolition in 2009.[7] The Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia purchased Morris House and in 2013 it was transported from its original site at 1237 Hollis Street to a new site at 2500 Creighton Street.[7] Exterior renovations were largely complete as of 2014.[8] Interior renovations were delayed due to disagreements over a preservation strategy and began in earnest in 2017, after the decision was made to preserve the original interior walls behind plasterboard.[9] In 2020, Morris House was released to St. Paul's Home, a youth housing program.[10]

Former St. Patrick's Rectory

The former St. Patrick's Rectory building is a 2Шаблон:Frac storey, Victorian Gothic building of brick construction built in 1889 to serve as a rectory for the neighbouring St. Patrick's Church.[11] In July 2019, the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia appealed a decision by Halifax and West Community Council to approve a nine-storey addition to the building.[12][13] On June 1, 2020, the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board upheld the council's decision.[14]
