Loyalist House, National historic site in Saint John, Canada.
The rectangular Georgian mansion features a low hipped roof, four end chimneys, symmetrical facade, and center-hall floor plan with evenly spaced sash windows.
Built between 1810 and 1817 by merchant David Merritt, this residence survived the Great Fire of 1877 that destroyed much of Saint John's central area.
The Merritt family, United Empire Loyalists from Rye, New York, maintained this Federal-style house through five generations until 1959, preserving its original features.
Located at 120 Union Street, the museum opens from May 18 through early September, with extended autumn hours for cruise ship visitors.
The house sits elevated above street level due to city development that excavated surrounding streets, while the building remained at its original height.
