Description
This monochrome infrared shows an historic house from the 1840s, which unfortunately has no fallen into disrepair after the last of the descendants of the industrialist who originally lived here died in 2015. 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."

Unfortunately, I saw a recent notice (2022) that this building was being delisted as a historic site, so it will probably be replaced by something new.
