Hants County

The Mounce home was built by Robert H. Caravan, a contractor from Windsor, NS in 1909/10.

The late Victorian mansion was built for newlyweds Thomas A. Mounce and Annie Mosher, married in 1909. The pair were both from notable families that had grown and prospered in the local shipbuilding industry in Hants County.

The living room has original wallpaper, ceiling decorum and painted mouldings. The doors are grained. All furnishings were imported from Europe. The valances were made of brass, then gilded. The bathroom and the servants all contain original tin baths. The walls are marbleized.

The house was built for Mark Curry who had a furniture business with his brother-in-law Fredrick Shand.

In 1936 it was purchased by Walter Regan, father of the Honourable Gerald Regan. It was sold to the present owner, Mrs. Babineau, in 1960.
