Archaeological Resource Impact Assessment Pre-development Assessment Spring Garden Road/Queen Street Public Lands Plan Figure 3.2.2-6: A plan of the <strong>Halifax</strong> memorial Library, 1949. 3.2.3 Area C: The Clyde Street parking lots. In 1749, like the rest of the study area, the Clyde Street parking lots fell outside the main fortification. The first evidence for direct ownership of these fields begins in 1762 with a series of Crown Land Grants, indicating Richard Bulkeley to be the owner of Area C (Figure 3.2.3-1). The area appears again on the 1784 Blaskowitz map, which does not indicate any significant buildings on the property. The area remains void of habitation until the early 19 th century, during which it is referred to as ‘Pedley’s Fields’ in an 1836 Assessment List 34 . The entire area was characterized by about 62 properties and a number of vacant fields, in which the Clyde Street parking lots are located. 34 PANS Poll Books and Assessments of 1836 Davis Archaeological Consultants Limited 31
Archaeological Resource Impact Assessment Pre-development Assessment Spring Garden Road/Queen Street Public Lands Plan Figure 3.2.3-1: Modern drawing of a Crown Lands Grant, 1762. In 1837, quoted in an article appearing in the Novascotian, soon-to-be Premier Joseph Howe spoke of the area candidly, stating that “A few years ago, there was not a single house in Schmidtville – it was then a decent sort of pasture, as we came to school, driving a solitary cow to feed on its clover and buttercup – had we told him or had he told us that in 1837 it would have contained nearly as many houses as Irish-town did then, a suspicion of insanity would have been induced by the remark, and no doubt, when Mr. Tidmarsh and others commenced laying off the lots north and west of the Parade Ground by the Barracks, it would have been even more difficult to convince any of the believers in the property of the world’s standing still, that they would in a few years contain nearly as many buildings as Dutch Town could then boast of.” 35 35 The Novascotian, October 18 th 1837, p.38 c.1 Davis Archaeological Consultants Limited 32
