Description du lieu patrimonial

MacDonald House was built in 1830 and is a one-and-one-half storey, three
bay façade, Scottish style wood building located at Highland Village, a
living history museum complex, located on Cape Breton Island, in Iona, NS.
The designation applies only to the house and a portion of land that
surrounds it, as noted in the Description of Boundaries. Other buildings
within Highland Village are not includedin the designation.

Valeur patrimoniale

MacDonald House is valued as one of the few surviving, and largely unaltered, examples of the Scottish architectural style. The MacDonald House is typical of houses built by immigrant Scots in Cape Breton in the early part of the nineteenth century. This Scottish style, one-and-one-half storey wood building has a centrally placed chimney, a field stone foundation and a central door with transom and a three-panel fanlight.

The house was first built in Stewartdale, Inverness County and in the 1970’s it was dismantled, moved and rebuilt in Highland Village, a living history museum and cultural centre.
