Description du lieu patrimonial
The Nehemiah D. Crocker House is a one-and-one-half storey house of wood construction located along Route 334 in the village of Plymouth, Yarmouth County, NS. The designation applies to the house and surrounding property.
Valeur patrimoniale
The heritage value of the Nehemiah D. Crocker House lies in the fact that it is a well-preserved example of a mid-nineteenth century house and that it was associated with a prominent member of the community.
The house is Modified Gothic in style and retains many of its original decorative features, including the cornerboards and sloped window hoods. It features an asymmetrical façade with off-centre doorway, and an ell off the southern end which has a gable dormer.
Nehemiah D. Crocker, a master mariner, built this house for himself circa 1860. He would later sign over the other two thirds of the property to his two sisters in 1964. The house exchanged hands many times and was eventually bought by Samuel Purdy in 1891, who ran a post office here from 1902 to 1914.
