| dbo:abstract | Hydrostone is a neighbourhood in the North End of the Halifax Peninsula in the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada. It consists of ten short parallel streets and is bordered by Duffus Street to the north, Young Street to the south, Isleville Street to the west and Novalea Drive to the east. The Hydrostone District has about 9.3 ha (23 acres) of landmass. The neighbourhood was designed by architect Thomas Adams to provide housing for working-class families displaced by the Halifax Explosion in 1917. Architectural design was by George Ross of the Montreal architectural firm of Ross and Macdonald. The neighbourhood draws its name from the special cinderblocks from which the houses were constructed. Most of the dwellings are row-houses in groups of four and six, except for the large, two-storey single-family houses at the eastern end of each street. Some have been converted to sets of flats. All of the streets in the Hydrostone are boulevards except Stanley Place. These boulevards have treed, grassy strips which serve as communal outdoor space for the neighbourhood. This is consistent with the Garden city movement by which Adams was influenced. All streets are also served by back lanes, a feature characteristic of Western Canadian cities, but not usually found in Eastern Canadian communities. It is designated a National Historic Site of Canada. (en) Hydrostone est un quartier situé au North End de la péninsule d'Halifax dans la municipalité régionale de Halifax en Nouvelle-Écosse (Canada). Il se compose de dix rues parallèles et est bordé par la rue Duffus au nord, et la Young au sud, la rue Isleville à l'ouest et promenade Novalea à l'est. Le quartier a été conçu par l'architecte (en) pour fournir des logements aux familles de la classe ouvrière déplacées par l'explosion de Halifax en 1917. La conception architecturale a été réalisée par George Ross de la firme d'architecture montréalaise Ross et Macdonald . Le quartier tire son nom des blocs de béton à partir desquels les maisons ont été construites. La plupart des logements sont des maisons en rangée par groupes de quatre ou six, à l'exception des grandes maisons unifamiliales de deux étages situées à l'extrémité est de chaque rue. Certains ont été convertis en ensembles d'appartements. Toutes les rues de Hydrostone sont des boulevards à l'exception de la place Stanley. Ces boulevards ont des bandes boisées qui servent d'espace extérieur commun au quartier. Ceci est cohérent avec le mouvement des cités-jardins qui a influencé Adams. Toutes les rues sont également desservies par des ruelles, une caractéristique des villes de l'Ouest canadien, mais que l'on ne trouve généralement pas dans les localités de l'Est du Canada. La quartier a été désigné lieu historique national du Canada en 1994. (fr) |
