144 Main Street, Liverpool, Nova Scotia B0T 1K0

There are few buildings more recognizable or prominent among local historians than this lovely Victorian Gothic on Main Street in Liverpool. The property is featured in South Shore; Seasoned Timbers, Vol. 2, published by the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia (1974). In 1914, the Liverpool Advance newspaper considered it to be one of the show places of the South Shore, with its skillfully curved Mersey River Gothic window, lancet windows and elaborate under-eaves trim work. This ornate style, as noted at the time, was considered more typical of French Gothic Church architecture. A residence and doctors office for over 100 years; more recently apartments, this gem is being made ready for its next chapter. Given its historical mixed use as office, residence and rental units, relatively large lot and exquisite location the property should appeal to the imagination of entrepreneurs, contractors, developers and visionaries. Liverpool is the hub of the South Shore, its miles of white sand beaches, resorts, seafood restaurants, lakes and incredible outdoor and cultural activities. A new roof is being installed and the interior has been cleared. Ex# 90496 (id:2471)
