The province is investigating the demolition of a registered heritage building in Avonport, N.S.
The Reid House dates back to the 1760s. It was used as a tavern, a stage coach stop, a courthouse, a post office and a polling station as well as a farm.
The property is owned by Nanco Development, based in Halifax. It was torn down on Sunday.
