Lunenburg Academy, Second Empire style school building in Old Town Lunenburg, Canada.
The Lunenburg Academy stands on Gallows Hill, featuring a mansard roof, large central chimney, and towers with pyramidal caps at 101 Kaulback Street.
Built between 1894 and 1895, this educational institution replaced a previous structure destroyed by fire and served over 650 students upon its opening.
The academy represents Nova Scotia's 19th-century educational transformation from single-room schoolhouses to advanced learning centers with structured curricula.
The three-story wooden building now houses the Lunenburg Library, a music performance school, and rental spaces for local organizations and businesses.
The twelve-bay structure contains original wooden wainscoting, period hardware, and ornate staircases that demonstrate 19th-century construction methods.
