I actualy grew up in Halifax, but I have only been back there a few times (April 2005, May 2010, and May 2019) since my Family moved away in 2001. Hence, I do not have very many photographs for this website.

Churches:

Bayers Road United Baptist Church


This Church was constructed in 1957-1958.

Fairview United Church


 

This Spryfield building was originally the Bible Baptist Church. At some point in the 1990s, it became the Open Door Community Church.

The building was not always this ugly shade of yellow; it used to be painted white.

St. Andrew's United Church


 

St. Paul's (Anglican) Church


Built in 1750, it is one of the oldest remaining buildings in Halifax.

Saint Vincent's Nursing Home Chapel


 

West End Baptist Church


 

Dalhousie University:

Arts and Administration (A&A) Building

This building was built ca. 1951.

Faculty Club

This building was originally built for the Law School.

Law School

This building used to be six stories in height until the disastrous fire in September 1985 that destroyed the original library.

Killam Library

This building houses the main campus library. It was built in the early 1970s.

The hotel opened in 1928, and it was massively rennovated in the late 1990s.

Former Eaton's Store

Entrance detail (Mumford Road side); this building dates from ca. 1962. It became a Sears store, ca. 2000.

Crowe Building

This building dates from 1912.

Two Former Houses

Presumably once identical, it is interesting how these two houses have been differently adapted into commercial premesis.
