Port Wade
Port Wade is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Annapolis County. It is situated at the foot of North Mountain on the shore of the Annapolis Basin.[1] An earlier French name was Pree Bourgeois and it was later known as West Ferry until 1905 when it was named after Fletcher Bath Wade.[2]
The Middleton and Victoria Beach Railway terminated here.[2] Iron ore from mines at Torbrook was transshipped here.[3]
Two houses in the village are municipally designated heritage properties. Captain James Anthony House was built c. 1853 in a modified Nova Scotia vernacular architectural style with Classical Revival influences.[4] The Captain Snow House built c. 1895, is described as an impressive example of the modified Gothic Revival style with Italianate and Queen Anne Revival influences.[5]
