Summary
| Description |
English: Main entrance of Solomon House in 69 Townsend Street. The heritage value lies in its age, architecture and association with well-known members of early Lunenburg society. The house was built in 1775 for merchant and sawmill owner Henry Koch. The building passed to the Rudolph family, then in 1849 to George T. Solomon, a local judge and well-known figure in Nova Scotian legal circles. It remained in the Solomon family until 1917.
The Solomon House is an excellent example of Georgian building techniques in Lunenburg, in particular the British Classical tradition. The building has a symmetrical appearance, giving it a sense of repose, orderliness and prosperity.
Deutsch: Fassade mit Haupteingang des Solomon House in der 69 Townsend Street. Sein denkmalpflegerischer Wert liegt in seinem Alter, seiner Architektur und seiner Verbindung zu bekannten Mitgliedern der frühen Lunenburger Gesellschaft. Das Haus wurde 1775 für den Kaufmann und Sägewerksbesitzer Heinrich Koch erbaut. Das Gebäude ging an die Familie Rudolph und dann 1849 an George T. Solomon, einen ortsansässigen Richter und eine bekannte Persönlichkeit in den juristischen Kreisen von Nova Scotia. Es blieb bis 1917 im Besitz der Familie Solomon.
Solomon House ist ein hervorragendes Beispiel für die georgianischen Bautechniken in Lunenburg, vor allem für die britisch-klassizistische Bautradition. Das Gebäude hat ein sehr symmetrisches Erscheinungsbild, das ihm einen Hauch von Ruhe, Ordnung und Wohlstand verleihen soll.
