Description du lieu patrimonial
Heritage Conservation District II consists of 37 Late Victorian style residences built between 1867 and 1947, located on Dominion, Duke, King, and Victoria Streets in the urban core of Truro, Nova Scotia. Five of the buildings and their surrounding properties are individually designated heritage sites.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Heritage Conservation District II is valued as a representation of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Truro during its period of rapid growth as a railway and industrial centre. The District consists of residential buildings that were originally homes to merchants and professionals, many of whom were directly involved in the railway and/or local industry.
The District also valued as one of the best preserved nineteenth century residential neighbourhoods in Nova Scotia. Most of the homes were built between 1867 and 1920, and display a wide variety of Victorian architectural styles, while still maintaining a high degree of consistency in terms of scale, placement, materials and use. This consistency is evident in the later buildings in the District, as they were constructed to be in harmony with the older buildings.
