Complementing the ceilings are three beautifully embossed tin ceilings, one carefully restored and two others added for consistency. 

The verandas and upper outdoor balcony connect this amazing home with the views of the rising Fundy tides connected to the Annapolis Basin below and the bustling fishing fleet that founded the Digby community. With some of the rarest collections of 9 restored priceless stained glass windows, the most intricate wood workings as trims and features as well as a botanical high end yard including a garage has this historic symbol of status and quality a rare opportunity to purchase.
