Heritage value

Its heritage value also lies in its architectural significance. This Maritime Vernacular structure was built in a style that was common at the time. This modest style is apparent in the massing of the building and the central gable dormer on the front slope of the roof. There is also an old summer kitchen that was used for cooking meals in hot weather.
