Carnaby Morrison General Store (c. 1850)

133 Montague Street - Parr Division
Facing the heroic and imposing steeple of Greenock Church, this wood clapboarded and shingled house was at one time the Carnaby Morrison General Store. It was moved from Water Street, near the former rail tracks on the water side, to its present location. The upper floor wide dormer was added later, quite possibly around 1915 due to its Craftsman-like style details such as the shingle cladding, exposed rafter ends and window design.

While originally built for commercial purposes, today it is a private residence.


The character-defining elements  include:
  • side gable massing
  • 4 over 1 windows in upper storey
  • 9 over 6 windows in lower storey
  • symmetrical design
  • window placement and proportions (front facade)
  • corner boards only extend one storey
  • brackets under eaves
  • stone foundation
  • wood shingle and clapboard siding
  • wood framed windows

​Architectural Style: Raised Vernacular Cape Cod
