Lunenburg NS - Eli Hopp House 1868

Around 1868 Eli Hopp, a master carpenter, selected this esteemed location to build his house probably more for the practicality of being amidst the bustling waterfront, rather than the romance of the setting.Sitting across from it is the distinctive red building known as the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic together with its complex of wooden wharves and historic array of sailing vessels, at times including Nova Scotia’s icon “Bluenose”.

 

This historic cape with its four Scottish dormers, sits in the best commercial area of the World Heritage Town of Lunenburg overlooking the bustling waterfront.
