Description du lieu patrimonial
The property registered as Captain Cheney’s Homestead is a two storey, wooden Queen Anne style home that stands along the main road leading to the public wharf in Little River on Digby Neck. While at one time part of a larger homestead, the heritage designation is limited to the building only.
Valeur patrimoniale
Built in 1910 during the peak of coastal trading, the homestead is valued for its association with the well-known coastal trader Captain Darryl Cheney and is the only Queen Anne style home in Little River. With its exterior splendor and luxurious interior finishes, the property is a fine example of how prosperous the fishing and coastal trading industry was in the early parts of the twentieth century. Captain Cheney was a successful merchant who traded fish on American and Maritime markets.
