The
town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
is one of the few municipalities in all of North America that has kept
its 18th century Georgian charm intact. A large immigration of German Lutherans
to this community in mid-18th century Georgian Canada brought with them
the legacy of German architecture associated with four kings of Great Britain,
all named George and all of German descent. This Georgian building at 69
Fox Street, Lunenburg, today named the Lennox Tavern, was built by German-born
Andreas Jung, circa 1790. Jung was one of the early German immigrants who
helped found the Town of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, 1753. [Photo, courtesy
