Summary
[edit]DescriptionTV-009-0279 (14376420041).jpg |
Downtown, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The Quaker House is the oldest building in Dartmouth, dating to 1785. William Ray, its owner, was a Quaker (as the name of the house implies) and a United Empire Loyalist. A whaler by trade, Ray was driven away from his home in Nantucket by the combined effects of the physical and economic devastation of the American Revolution and the high taxes placed after the war on American whale oil by the British as a punitive measure. Spared from the wave of urban renewal that claimed many old buildings in downtown Dartmouth in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Quaker House is now open for tours under the auspices of the Dartmouth Heritage Museum. Centre-ville, Dartmouth, Nouvelle-Écosse. La Maison Quaker est le plus ancien bâtiment à Dartmouth; elle rémonte à 1785. William Ray, son propriétaire, était un Quaker (comme le nom de la maison implique) et un Loyaliste de l'Empire-Uni. Chasseur de baleines, Ray a été chassé sa maison à Nantucket par les effets combinés de la dévastation physique et économique de la Révolution américaine et les impôts élevés placés après la guerre sur l'huile de baleine en provenance des États-Unis par les Britanniques comme une mesure punitive. Épargnée par la vague de renouvellement urbain qui a coûté de nombreux édifices anciens au centre-ville de Dartmouth à la fin des années 1960 et au début des 1970, la maison Quaker est aujourd'hui ouverte aux visiteurs sous les auspices du Musée patrimonial de Dartmouth. Centro, Dartmouth, Nueva Escocia. La Casa Cuáquera es el edificio más antiguo de Dartmouth; se remonta a 1785. William Ray, su propietario, era un cuáquero (como el nombre de la casa implica) y un Lealista del Imperio Unido. Ballenero de profesión, Ray se echó de su casa en Nantucket por los efectos combinados de la devastación física y económica de la Revolución Estadounidense y los altos impuestos gravados tras la guerra en el aceite de ballena que provenía de los Estados Unidos por los británicos como medida punitiva. Salvada de la ola de renovación urbana que se cobró muchos edificios antiguos en el centro de Dartmouth al fin de los años 1960 y al principio de los 1970, la Casa Cuáquera está abierta para visitas bajo los auspicios del Museo Patrimonial de Dartmouth. |
