McCulloch House, a designated Nova Scotian heritage
site, was built in 1806 for
Dr Thomas McCulloch, a
prominent educator, writer and minister. Constructed of
bricks sent from Scotland, it is commonly referred to as
being of "Scottish domestic" design.
Originally the line of the roof was a gable.
However, many exterior and interior features of the house
remain unchanged. The carvings of the white pine interior
wood trim are attributed to George McCulloch, a brother to
Thomas, who spent his later years in Pictou.
Dr McCulloch called his home "Sherbrooke Cottage" as a
tribute to Sir John Sherbrooke, a Lieutenant-Governor of
Nova Scotia who had been sympathetic to the development of
Pictou Academy.
Since 1943, McCulloch House has been the home of the
Murdoch MacCuish family. It was purchased by the province
of Nova Scotia in 1972 for preservation as an historic
house. Mrs MacCuish remained in residence for many years
and the house together with its extensive geneaological
archives and library are administered on behalf of the
province by the Hector Centre Trust.
