1847

This building was constructed for Richard O'Dwyer, a prominent merchant from Waterford, to house his officies and retail stores, but also to accommodate other merchants. With its classically-detailed, granite block facade, the building would have been one of the most dignified elements of the mid-century streetscape. The eastern portion was demolished by the Bank of Nova Scotia for their quarters in 1916.
