Government House of Nova Scotia is the official residence of the lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, and is located in Halifax.[4] It stands in the provincial capital at 1451 Barrington Street; unlike other provincial Government Houses in Canada, this gives Nova Scotia's vice-regal residence a prominent urban setting, though it is still surrounded by gardens.
