Built in 1891, this famous art nouveau building became home to the Nickel Theatre, the first permanent movie house in Halifax, in 1907. For over 80 years, this historic landmark was synonymous with the Canadian film industry—and you can still feel the buzz when you walk into the building. Today, it continues to welcome people far and wide to experience the unique vibes of Halifax.
