Identified! 915 Tower Road

  • Abbie Hudson said:
    Found it! 915 Tower Road. Looking at Google street view, it was torn down sometime between Sept. 2017 and Aug. 2018

    Good catch on this identification, Abbie Hudson! Weve updated the description in our database to say 915 Tower Road.

Identified! 378 Shore Drive

  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    David Craig Thank you, David, for the identification of this location and of the buildings in Wallis Heights! I've updated the record in our database with the information.
  • Jane De Luca said:
    This was 378 Shore Drive. It was built in 1913 by James E. Roy, after their original house (also in Bedford) burned down. Mr. Roy was manager of the Singer Sewing Machine company in NS.

    In 1938, they converted the home into six apartments; two apartments were occupied by Roy's daughters. It stayed in the Roy family until 1965, when the last Roy daughter died and it was sold.

    In 2010, it was purchased by a developer and later demolished. Over 2024-25 ten houses were built on the site.

    For more information about the Roy family and their houses. Please contact the Fort Sackville Foundation at scottmanor.ca.
