Summary

Description

Downtown, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Located on Barrington Street, Government House is the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia - and when the Queen of England visits Halifax, as she did in 1959, 1976, 1994 and 2010, this is where she lives too. Built in 1805, it's the oldest official government residence in North America, and the only one in Canada to be located in a downtown setting - though, as can be seen here, the gardens surrounding it confer a bit of privacy and tranquility. It's been registered as a heritage property by the Nova Scotia government due to its historical importance and the majesty of its Georgian-style architecture.

Centre-ville, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse. Situé dans la rue Barrington, l'Hôtel du Gouverneur est la résidence officielle du Lieutenant-Gouverneur de la Nouvelle-Écosse - et quand la reine d'Angleterre visite Halifax, comme elle l'a fait en 1959, 1976, 1994 et 2010, c'est là qu'elle vit aussi. Construite en 1805, c'est la plus ancienne résidence gouvernementale officielle en Amérique du Nord, et la seule du Canada à être située dans un centre-ville - même si, comme on peut le voir ici, les jardins qui l'entourent le confère un peu d'intimité et de tranquillité. Il a été enregistré comme un bien patrimonial par le gouvernement néo-écossais en raison de son importance historique et la majesté de son architecture de style géorgien.

Centro, Halifax, Nueva Escocia. Ubicada en la calle Barrington, la Casa del Gobernador es la residencia oficial del Vicegobernador de Nueva Escocia - y cuando la Reina de Inglaterra visita Halifax, como lo hizo en 1959, 1976, 1994 y 2010, aquí es donde ella vive también. Construido en 1805, es la residencia gubernamental oficial más antigua en América del Norte, y la única en Canadá que se encuentra en un entorno céntrico - sin embargo, como se puede ver aquí, los jardines que la rodean la confiere un poco de privacidad y tranquilidad. Se ha registrado como un bien patrimonial por el gobierno nuevo-escocés debido a su importancia histórica y la majestuosidad de su arquitectura de estilo georgiano.
