Description du lieu patrimonial
Catherine Ryan House is a one and one-half storey double house in a simple Gothic Revival style located at 126 Victoria Street in Truro, NS in the urban core of the town. The house is situated in Truro’s Heritage Conservation District I, a neighborhood noted for its concentration of largely intact late Victorian residences. The designation includes the building and surrounding property.
Valeur patrimoniale
Historic Value
This house is valued for its association with Catherine Ryan, for whom the house was built in 1878, and founder of one of the locally prominent Ryan families who owned properties in this area.
Architectural Value
Catherine Ryan House is valued as an unusual example of Late Victorian residential buildings, being a double house, designed as a two-family dwelling. The house is in the front-gabled Gothic Revival style, which later became quite common in Truro due to its relatively low construction costs. The large cross gable added to the side wall, however, has no equivalent in Truro.
