Canadian Register Of Historic Places
The Canadian Register of Historic Places (CRHP; french: Le Répertoire canadien des lieux patrimoniaux), also known as Canada's Historic Places, is an online directory of historic sites in Canada which have been formally recognized for their heritage value by a federal, provincial, territorial or municipal authority. Background The Canadian Register of Historic Places was created as part of Canada's "Historic Places Initiative". Commencing in 2001, the Historic Places Initiative was a collaboration between the federal, provincial and territorial governments to improve protection of the country's historic sites and to "promote and foster a culture of heritage conservation in Canada". The CRHP and the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (a common set of guidelines for the restoration and rehabilitation of historic sites throughout Canada) are the two major tools developed to assist in achieving the initiative's main objectives.

Saint Andrews, New Brunswick
Saint Andrews (2016 population: 1,786) is a town in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada. The historic town is a national historic site of Canada, bearing many characteristics of a typical 18th century British colonial settlement, including the original grid layout with its market square, and the classical architecture. Although often shortened in non-official sources to St. Andrews, the town's legal name is spelt Saint Andrews, and appears as such on the town's website; St. Andrews by-the-Sea is a brand used for tourism purposes by the local Chamber of Commerce. History The site of the town was named Qunnnoskwamk'ook, meaning long gravel bar in the Malecite-Passamaquoddy language. The present name was given by a French missionary who landed at the site on Saint Andrew's Day. At the eastern end the town is a midden, a pile of shells and other refuse that accumulated over two thousand years due to year-round activity of the Passamaquoddy The Passamaquoddy ( Maliseet-P ...

Charlotte County Court House
The Charlotte County Court House (french: Palais de justice du comté de Charlotte) is a former court house located in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. It served as the local seat of the Court of Queen's Bench of New Brunswick. It was the oldest court house in Canada still in continuous use until 2016, when court cases stopped being heard in St. Andrews. History The court house was constructed in 1840 adjacent to the Charlotte County Gaol, and was designed by architect Thomas Berry. The building features a pedimented portico, onto which a large Royal coat of arms was added in 1858 by Charles Kennedy. In its early years, the building was a focal point for local activities such as elections, fairs, parades, and official visits. National Historic Site The building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1981, as the best preserved example in New Brunswick of the typical mid-19th century Maritime Maritime may refer to: Geography * Maritime Alps, a mountain rang ...

Charlotte County Gaol
Charlotte Country Gaol is a prison originally established in 1786. The First Charlotte County Gaol The first prison in Charlotte County, New Brunswick was located in St. Andrews, New Brunswick on Water Street near where the current town hall is today. Built in 1786, just three years after the town was settled, it was a wooden building that consisted of four cells on the bottom floor and a courthouse on the upper floor. Since the floors in the cells were only packed dirt, prisoners found that they could readily escape custody. Eventually so many escaped that in 1828 the Sheriff was sued, and thus an act was passed to erect a more suitable prison elsewhere. The old building was sold to the town of St. Andrews and converted into a town hall and market house until it burned down in 1872. The Second Charlotte County Gaol The next prison, now known as the "Old Gaol," was constructed in an attempt to correct all that was wrong about the previous one. It was built in 1832 on Frederick S ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Greenock Church
Greenock (; sco, Greenock; gd, Grianaig, ) is a town and administrative centre in the Inverclyde council area in Scotland, United Kingdom and a former burgh within the historic county of Renfrewshire, located in the west central Lowlands of Scotland. It forms part of a contiguous urban area with Gourock to the west and Port Glasgow to the east. The 2011 UK Census showed that Greenock had a population of 44,248, a decrease from the 46,861 recorded in the 2001 UK Census. It lies on the south bank of the Clyde at the "Tail of the Bank" where the River Clyde deepens into the Firth of Clyde. History Name Place-name scholar William J. Watson wrote that "Greenock is well known in Gaelic as Grianáig, dative of grianág, a sunny knoll".

Minister's Island
Ministers Island is an historic Canadian island in New Brunswick's Passamaquoddy Bay near the town of St. Andrews. The island stands several hundred metres offshore immediately northeast of the town and is a geographical novelty in that it is accessible at low tide by a wide gravel bar suitable for vehicular travel. Ministers Island became famous in the last decade of the nineteenth century as the summer home of Sir William Van Horne, the president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. By the time of Van Horne's death in 1915, the island had been transformed into a small Xanadu, sporting a sandstone mansion furnished in the most lavish late Edwardian manner, manicured grounds, scenic roads, greenhouses turning out exotic fruits and vegetables, as well as a breeding farm producing prize-winning Clydesdale horses and Lakenvelder cattle. It was the most spectacular of many palatial summer homes in St. Andrews, which since the creation of the St. Andrews Land Company in 1888 and the ...

Saint Andrews Parish, New Brunswick
Saint Andrews Parish is a civil parish in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada, located east of St. Stephen.

New Brunswick Route 127
Route 127 is an East/West provincial highway in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The Highway starts out in Lawrence Station at the intersection of Route 3 The road travels mainly south for almost 60 km through mostly rural communities. The road does pass Rickets Island and runs along the Canada/US border as is the main route into St. Andrews where the road name changes to Bayview Drive and Mowat Drive. In St. Andrews the highway takes a sharp almost U-Turn before finally ending in the community of Bocabec. History Route 127 was commissioned in 1965 as a short loop off Route 1 into St. Andrews. (Route 1 at that point followed the eastern shore of the St. Croix River as far as Ghost Road in Bayside, then crossed over to the east side of the peninsula to go north along Passamaquoddy Bay.) When a new alignment of Route 1 opened in 1973 between Waweig and Digdeguash, Route 127 was extended along the bypassed segments of Route 1. It was extended further north to ...

Classified Federal Heritage Building
The Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office (FHBRO) was established in 1982 after the Government of Canada adopted an internal policy on managing heritage buildings. Today, federal heritage is incorporated into the Government of Canada's Treasury Board Policy on the Management of Federal Real Property. History The FHBRO was partly created because the federal government did not have heritage protection in place, while provincial jurisdictions had passed stronger heritage laws in the mid-1970s. Led by Parks Canada and a parliamentary committee on heritage, a policy was drafted and approved by cabinet in 1982. Cabinet allocated funds from Parks Canada's budget to manage FHBRO. A pioneering evaluation system was developed by leading heritage conservation architect, Hal Kalman. Since 1982, approximately 3% of the federal government's inventory of buildings are protected by the policy (over 1300 buildings). The majority of federal heritage buildings are owned by Parks Canada, but sign ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
