Historic Properties

[Afloat]

What and where are the historic properties in Halifax?

[Allis154]

According to Destiniaton Nova Scotia:

 

"Three city blocks of Canada's oldest surviving group of waterfront warehouses and some of North America's finest Victorian-Italianate facades. Historic Properties is noted as Halifax's favourite waterfront marketplace, offering one-of-a-kind specialty shops, great restaurants and unique events, all with true Nova Scotian flavour! Visit the harbourside boardwalk, Canada's oldest art college and a Visitor Information Centre. A Heritage Canada Designation."

 

They are a few blocks up the harbour from the cruise ship terminal.

Here's a map which may help

If you scroll down the page of the second link there is a short write up about it as well.

It's within walking distance of the cruise dock and is quite interesting, alot of shops and places to eat.
