This unique building formerly The Destination Gallery is located on the main street of historic Parrsboro. The 3,900+ square foot building has the original tin ceilings and balcony staircase which have been renovated back to their original charm. This special building has been tastefully put back into service as a hub of business in Parrsboro. The building housed a fine art gallery, retail space for antiques and large art pieces, a cafe (complete with fridge and stove) and common space used for entertainment and presentations. The total operation was a wonderful mixture of local culture, art, food and expression, with a charming warehouse space feel.
The second level provides a large open gallery with room to hold workshops, readings or as a studio/workshop. The second story also provides an 8 x 8 washroom space complete with shower. Both levels of this heritage building have original wooden floors, stairways, wooden walls and casings, and provides the perfect atmosphere for art and cultural merchandising. |
This open concept second floor would make a wonderful living space with the original tongue and groove walls, overhead ceiling beams and a large picture window looking down Main Street. The incomplete kitchen space is ready to go to the next level with a four sink counter already in place. This area leads out to the back deck (8’ X 15’) which overlooks the semi attached 28’ V 14” one bedroom apartment. The apartment has an open kitchen concept; fridge and stove included. Bathroom has corner shower.
Inventory of art and antiques is available for separate negotiations.
This is a visionary opportunity for loft living/ and/or studio with numerous seasonal business possibilities. |

The mercantile trade of Parrsboro reached
far and wide as did its ship building
and shipping industry.
It is a fact that around the turn of the century, Parrsboro was second only to Halifax in the number of sailings on the Eastern Canadian seaboard.
Parrsboro is also the site from which the first air mail departed from Eastern Canada in October 1919.
Drop in today, we are located inside
The Destination Gallery Building.
