Description
The Greco Pizza Building is a mid-19th century two-storey Neoclassical commercial building with a large pediment supported by Ionic columns on the front façade. It is located on Milltown Boulevard in St. Stephen.
Heritage value
The Greco Pizza Building is designated a Local Historic Place for its architecture and for its role in the economic development of the area.
The Greco Pizza Building is recognized for being a rare example of mid-19th century Neoclassical architecture in St. Stephen. The building was built on land laid out by the William Mahood Plan of 1846. In the beginning, four Ionic columns supported the pediment on the front façade. Today, two of the original columns remain. The roof was raised in later years to establish living quarters.
The Greco Pizza Building is also recognized for its role in the economy of the area as a viable commercial space. In 1882, The Bank of Nova Scotia opened in St. Stephen and occupied the building until 1908. J. R. Sederquest purchased the building for his undertaking establishment and was later the George Maxwell Funeral Home. Through time, it has been the home of a barber shop, an antique store, several fast food outlets and other enterprises.
