Commissariat House Provincial Historic Site
|
| Just how does an army march on its stomach?
Find out when you visit one of the oldest buildings in the province, built
especially for the Commissariat to supply the city's garrison. Ask the
clerks and serving maids of the 1830s what was involved in keeping the men
supplied with everything from bread to boots. Experience the
simple elegance of the home and offices of the Assistant Commissary
General. It was constructed in 1818-20, this gracious Georgian structure is
restored, furnished and decorated to the 1830 period. It served as
offices and living quarters for the Assistant Commissary General and all
military installations in the area. |
