Description du lieu patrimonial
The Moase Blacksmith Shop is a one and one half storey wooden shingled building located on the Moase family farm in rural New Annan, PEI. It was located close to the highway and was recently moved back and resituated to accomodate the widening of the roadway. The registration includes the footprint of the building.
Valeur patrimoniale
The original forge and building were constructed by Henry Moase in 1842 shortly after his arrival from Devon, England. The blacksmith shop stayed in the Moase family for four generations, most recently being operated by Wendell Moase. The building is significant as a well preserved example of a blacksmith shop in PEI. It still contains many of the original implements brought over from England. The shop also contains many railway tools (hammers, picks, and line bars) which had been left broken by workers on the tracks adjacent to the Moase property. Wendell Moase collected these and repaired them as momentos of the now vanished PEI railway.
