Built in 1888, this Victorian Second Empire residence at 56 Dufferin Street in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia exemplifies the architectural tastes of late 19th-century Maritime Canada. The house combines hallmark features of both Victorian and Second Empire styles, the latter characterized by mansard roofs and ornamental detail that reflected contemporary urban elegance. Now recognized as a Municipally Registered Property, the building stands as a testament to Lunenburg's prosperous seafaring era and its preservation of heritage architecture.
