Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cox's Warehouse in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, Canada. Built as chandlery and store by the Cox shipbuilding family, the steeple was added for the movie “A Scarlet Letter” and the building featured in the filming of "Moby Dick". This is one of the largest wooden buildings in the Canadian maritime provinces. Cox's Warehouse was built for local businessman George A. Cox in 1902. This store, one hundred and sixty feet in length, served as a place of supply for the many American fishermen who came into this port, as well as supplying the shipyards around town.

Since being abandoned as a commercial space, the warehouse has housed Sandspit arts & crafts co-op, Waterfront Gallery, BW Auctions and assorted events. One of the Town of Shelburne’s most recognizable landmarks along the historic waterfront was considered for demolition until recently, when the Shelburne Historical Society reached an agreement with a tenant, who, in summer, 2014, will open a physiotherapy and exercise operation there.
