Cornwallis Hotel
The Cornwallis Hotel in Kentville began as the Aberdeen Hotel, built behind the Kentville Station in 1892. It was purchased and renovated by the DAR in 1919 and renamed the Cornwallis Inn. It was replaced in 1930 by a new and much grander structure at the centre of town built in the CPR "Baronial" style in 1930. The building survives today as an apartment building, the last surviving building in Kentville connected to the DAR, at least until the notoriously heritage-hostile Town of Kentville demolishes it.
