The Press Block stands on the corner of Barrington, George and Granville, across from the grandeur of City Hall and Grand Parade Square, facing Citadel Hill westward and the Halifax Waterfront on the east coast. There is simply no better location for living downtown.
Conservationists attribute the heritage value of the Barrington Street Historic Conservation District to the historic and architectural significance of its buildings, including The Press Block, and civic open spaces. Although the streetscape has changed dramatically over time, Barrington has remained steadfast as the predominant commercial street in Atlantic Canada for over 250 years.
