This
page is a Picture tour of
Older
Houses that are still standing in
Summerville Hants County
Nova
Scotia
This
is my small effort to help preserve the
History
of Summerville
All
the houses shown are at least 100 Years Old and most are still occupied
I have been told by the support team of my
hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to
live with it.

I have a request to make.
If anyone viewing this page
has any old pictures of Summerville
I would love to have a copy
of them.
I am working on a History Page
of Summerville and would like to add
some pictures of Summerville
the way it used to be.
Thanks
You can E Mail them to me at
