Black-Binney House

The Black-Binney House was a former residence built in 1819 in Halifax, Nova Scotia which is now a National Historic Site of Canada. The house was built by John Black (merchant) and is reflective of the Palladian-inspired residences common during the late 18th and early 19th centuries in Eastern Canada.[1] In 1857, Hibbert Binney subdivided the property to build the St. Matthew's United Church (Halifax). In 1965 Sidney Culverwell Oland purchased and renovated the building to house the Nova Scotia Division of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires.

gollark: They are VERY GOOD on a server because they are MUCH FASTER FOR RANDOM ACCESS.
gollark: Not really. They are fairly reliable in practice. It is stupid to just hope your drive won't fail - KEEP BACKUPS.
