1850 - 1926 (75 years)Hugh P MacKay House, Truro
Hugh P. MacKay House is a one and one-half storey Late Victorian cottage located at 24 Victoria Street in Truro, NS in the urban core of the town. The house is distinguished by its combination of hip and gable roofs, and by the placement of the entry stairway at the angle of a picturesque wrap-around verandah. The house is situated in Truro’s Heritage Conservation District III, a neighborhood noted for its concentration of largely intact late Victorian residences. The designation includes the building and surrounding property.
Hugh P. MacKay House is valued for its association with Hugh P. MacKay (1850-1926) whose family lived in the house since its construction in 1910 by MacKay's son-in-law Hiram B. MacLearn. MacKay was the building manager of the Provincial Normal School for many years.
