Halifax Public Gardens Bandstand

Work is well underway to restore the Bandstand in Halifax Public Gardens. When it emerges from its cocoon in about a month's time, it will sport a new copper roof (this is the new roof structure) and a paint scheme and details that will reflect its condition at the turn of the last century. The Bandstand was built in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was designed by Hamburg-born Halifax Architect Henry Busch, whose work also includes the AllianceAtlantis building on the corner of Brunswick and Sackville Streets, next door to WHW's offices.
