Ross-Thomson House
This three storey building was built in 1785 for George and Robert Ross, merchants from Aberdeen, Scotland. The north side of the building, with a gambrel roof, housed the store, while the gable roof section on the south provided their housing. The windows, unlike most other Loyalist houses, are twelve panes of glass over eight, rather than the traditional six panes over six. The Ross Brothers had this store on Charlotte Lane, one of Shelburne's busiest streets, shipping pine planks, codfish, spars and Shelburne goods all over the world. The room above the store was used by the militia during the time of the Fenian raids. This building is now a museum managed by the Shelburne Historical Society for the Nova Scotia Museum.
