Percy Nobbs and the Memorial Garden at Grand Pré
Abstract
Montreal architect Percy Erskine Nobbs (1875-1964), who was also the Director of the Department of Architecture at McGill University (1903-1910) and Professor of Design at the university until 1940, was the formal landscape designer for the Grand-Pré Memorial Garden in Nova Scotia. Today part of the Grand-Pré National Historic Site, the memorial garden commemorates the Acadian people and their deportation from Nova Scotia in 1755 during the Seven Years' War. Nobbs' drawings indicates that he worked on the garden's landscape design in 1919 and 1920.
