Morris House (also known as the Morris Office) is the oldest wooden residence in
Halifax, Nova Scotia (circa 1764) and the former office of
Charles Morris (surveyor general). The house was originally located at 1273 Hollis Street, and since January 2013 has been located at 2500 Creighton Street. The Morris family used the house as their office for eighty years. There were four generations of the Morris family, a dynasty of
Surveyor Generals of Nova Scotia, who used the building as their office. Due to the efforts of the
Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia and others, the house has been salvaged from demolition in 2009. The original property was owned by Dennis Heffernan who sold it to
Charles Morris Jr. in 1777, who likely had his father stay with him.
