Henry House, National historic site in Halifax, Canada

The two-and-a-half-story stone house features a gable roof, ashlar granite blocks on the facade, and dressed ironstone on the gable ends.

William Alexander Henry, a Father of Confederation and first Nova Scotian Supreme Court Justice, resided in this house from 1854 to 1864.

The building represents early 19th-century British North American residential architecture with Scottish masonry techniques and a traditional side hall plan.

Located at 1222 Barrington Street, the structure now functions as The Henry House Restaurant & Pub, maintaining its historical character.

The basement, once a kitchen space, transformed into the Little Stone Jug tavern, named after a former Halifax prison slang term.
