Morris House, Colonial residence in North End, Halifax, Canada

Morris House is a wooden residence built in the late 1700s, located in Halifax's North End and showing construction methods typical of that period. The structure features multiple rooms arranged in a layout that reflects the lifestyle of a prosperous family from that era.

The building was constructed in 1764 and initially served as the office of Charles Morris, the surveyor general of Nova Scotia. The residence remained within the Morris family across several generations, becoming part of Halifax's early development.

The interior displays decorative details from the 19th century that visitors can observe, showing how wealthy families of that era furnished their homes. These choices reflect the tastes and daily habits of those who lived here.

The house now stands at 2500 Creighton Street, in Halifax's North End, having been moved there from 1273 Hollis Street in January 2013. A monument sign designed by Breakhouse with eyecandy SIGNS INC. marks the original Hollis Street site, so the two locations can be visited as a pair.

A Raman spectroscopic study at Saint Mary's University found 19th-century pigments in the interior paints and wallpaper, including white lead, barium sulfate, chalk and chrome green. The exterior carries copper phthalocyanine, a modern synthetic blue. A monument sign by Breakhouse and eyecandy SIGNS INC. marks the original Hollis Street site.
