William Chapman, a pre-Loyalist immigrant from Yorkshire, built this house in the late 1770's from local materials. It has been occupied by Chapman and his descendants for almost two centuries and, although slightly modified, it still preserves the basic form and many of the details of a prosperous late 18th centry farmhouse.
Plaque existante: chemin Mount Whatley, Nouvelle-Écosse
William Chapman, qui immigra du Yorkshire avant la venue des Loyalistes, érigea cette maison vers la fin des années 1770 à l'aide de matériaux pris sur ces lieux. Occupée, avec quelques changements, depuis près de deux siècles par ses descendants elle se présente toujours sous son aspect original et les caractéristiques d'une confortable maison de ferme de la fin du XVIIIe siècle.
