Hillcrest Hall was built about 1910 as a home for the Leadbetter family in the southwest part of Port Hood. Ebenezer Leadbetter’s enormous three-storey house is a survivor from the age of coal, and proclaims the prosperity of immigrant miners with Danish and Bulgarian names among the Highland Scots. It is now a hotel.

I think this Chocolate shop was once a church

I like this picture I spotted on the side of the Chocolate Shop

Why number just one rock? Maybe this one was unlucky.

It does not look unlucky

I really like Canadian houses.

Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Park. As a fishing port, military base and centre of commerce, Louisbourg briefly shared front rank importance in France’s overseas empire. Home to a transplanted European civilization, it flourished for less than half a century, and then it was extinguished by military conquest. None of its structures survived the next two centuries. In 1961, the Government of Canada began a $25 million project aimed at reconstructing approximately one-quarter of the original town and fortifications. Within this area the buildings, yards, gardens and streets are being recreated as they were during the 1740s, immediately preceding Louisbourg’s first siege. Almost all of the buildings on site are reconstructions built between the 1960s and 1980s, though many incorporate original foundations. Abandoned after 1760, Louisbourg became the only major colonial town without a modern city built on top of it.
