Chapman House, National historic farmhouse in Fort Lawrence, Nova Scotia, Canada
The red brick Georgian house features a steep pitched roof, five symmetrical bays, and two chimneys on a knoll overlooking Amherst Marsh and LaPlanche River.
William Chapman, a pre-Loyalist immigrant from Yorkshire, constructed this residence in the late 1770s using local materials and traditional British architectural methods.
The interior displays military artifacts spanning multiple conflicts, from the American Revolutionary War through World War II, reflecting the family's military connections.
The property maintains its original center-hall layout, fireplaces, doors, woodwork, and hardware, demonstrating the construction techniques of the eighteenth century.
The house incorporates locally produced red bricks with black headers in Flemish bond pattern and Wallace sandstone frames above the doors and windows.
