At that time, the house had been owned by a Bent Family. Mrs. Turple was employed by Crockers at that time. 143 Queen st, Truro, NS Built 1886-1889 A 3 storey wood frame bldg with a mansard roof. This bldg is a good example of the second empire style. The front façade has bay windows extending through the first two floors with round headed dormers on the third. The proportions and lines of this house (vertical and curved) produce an elegant, architectural design. Edward Archibald (b 1845) also known as Capt. And Ned brother of Alex.
