Description
This monochrome infrared image was shot directly into the sun, giving the deserted mansion and its autumn maple trees a haunted look. The historic house was built by the son of the richest industrialist in the area in the 1840s. This house in located in Minudie, Nova Scotia, a village near the head of the Bay of Fundy that was founded by Acadian settlers in 1672. At one time the region thrived and was home to around 600 people.
Given the historic importance of the house, some information from Canada's registry of historic places is useful: "The A.T. Seaman House, built in 1843, is a large, two-storey Georgian style home sitting on the Barronsfield Road on the approach to Minudie from River Hebert, Nova Scotia... The A.T. Seaman House represents the prosperous era of Amos “King” Seaman, his family, and his influence on the area’s history and development. A.T. (Amos Thomas) Seaman was the eldest son of Amos Peck “King” Seaman. He worked as a farmer and a merchant, and helped operate his father’s stores and mills. King Seaman’s industrial empire brought prosperity to Minudie and the surrounding area in the early to mid eighteen hundreds. His empire included mills, ships and shipping ports, cattle, warehouses, stores, quarries, and grindstone production. He shipped hay, vegetables and grindstones to New England, the eastern seaboard, and the Caribbean, and he had the first steam powered grist mill in NS.
