Summary:
"Government House
Halifax
is the home of the Sovereign's representative in the Province of
Nova
Scotia
and the ceremonial home of all
Nova
Scotians. It has also served as a home away from home for members of the Royal Family over its two-century history. Government House
Halifax
tells the story of this historic building. Beginning with its construction in 1800 and continuing through its extensive renovations in 2009, Government House
Halifax
tells the story of the buildning's royal residents, the household staff and the momentous
--
and occasionally amusing - events that have transpired within its walls. Christopher McCreery [who has served as private secretary to the
lieutenant
governor of
Nova
Scotia
since 2009] expertly guides readers through the building, including its hidden secrets and the state rooms, and introduces readers to important works of art held by Government House as part of the Crown Collection. Amply illustrated with an extraordinary collection of images, including both historic drawings and paintings and modern photographs, this volume is the authoritative guide to the oldest consecutively occupied government residence in Canada." --Jacket.
