Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 chair is Andrea Arbic. The Trust's offices are located at 61 Dundas Street in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.[1]
The Trust publishes The Griffin, a quarterly magazine, and has published several books on the subject of Nova Scotia's built heritage.[1]
