Description du lieu patrimonial
233 Victoria Street East, also known as Elmwood, is a two-storey Classical Revival house built circa 1845. The home is located on the south side of the main street in Amherst, Nova Scotia, and is quite far back off the street amid mature trees. The structure stands in a residential area with other large houses built in the same era. The building and property are included in the municipal designation.
Valeur patrimoniale
233 Victoria Street East is valued for its age and for its many original design elements. The house is also valued as a fine example of Classic Revival architecture. Accenting the outer edges of the large, rectangular house are pilasters that rise from the basement to the returned eaves of the medium pitch roof. Pilasters also frame the off-centre doorway that is on west-facing gable side of the house. The recessed door is framed with sidelights and a transom. The north-facing street side has a symmetrical four-bay façade.
