In the 1860s William McCormick commenced work on the building, finishing it in 1874. The structure, known as W. McCormick and Sons served as a dry goods/general store as well as a base for an import/export business. A dock once stood out back for loading and unloading ships. Bananas and black rum from the Caribbean, fine English linens and tailored suits once brought the building relative prosperity.
Now, however, the margins on sending sailing ships to the Caribbean have shrunk somewhat. The port technologies of Annapolis Royal have withered slightly and the railway is a fading memory. Though the descendants of William McCormick still own the building, its maintenance has mostly been an act of love.
With our nineteenth century business plan debunked, we searched for a twenty-first century plan to prosperity.
Enter Sons and Daughters Antiques, our attempt at a foray into the high stakes, big-profit world of international antique dealing! In reality we are mostly just a large family looking to share our fascination with history, our love of antiques and our affliction with nostalgia. And if that just happens to pay the oil bill this winter I suppose that is alright too. Thank you for your support.
