This book will inform and delight all those who take pleasure in the old buildings and in the social history of this country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMrs Angus presents the stories of some of the architecturally and historically important limestone buildings, and of their owners, and thus tells the story of Kingston from the landing of the Empire Loyalists in 1784, through its brief period as capital of Canada (1841-43) up to Confederation.
