There are many reasons why I love living in a historic home. They’re architecturally interesting, full of quirky features that make them unique, and have a charm you simply don’t find in many modern buildings. Most of all, they’re full of history.

Not long ago, while doing some renovations, I found this envelope jammed inside a wall along with a few magazines from the same era (I’ll share those another time). It was likely reused as insulation, not great insulation, admittedly, but an incredible find, nonetheless.

The envelope has several elements that tie it not only to the history of this house, but also to Halifax. The most obvious is who it’s addressed to: W. J. B. Bingham. Bingham was the son-in-law of Joseph Millar, who built the home around 1879 as part of the rebuilding of Saint John following the Great Fire of 1877. After Millar’s death, Bingham and his wife assumed ownership of the house in 1891, and he lived here until his death in 1933 — roughly 20 years after this letter would have been received.

In the top right corner of the envelope is the stamp, along with two handstamps. One is the Halifax postmark showing the letter was mailed in early September 1913. The other is the most interesting to me: a temporary postal slogan used during major events. It references the Nova Scotia Provincial Exhibition in Halifax, which ran from September 3 to September 11, 1913.

The exhibition was held at the Halifax Exhibition Grounds, which would be destroyed just four years later in the Halifax Explosion. Holding this envelope, knowing where it came from and how it ended up hidden in this house for over a century, feels like a small but tangible connection to that moment in time.

Finds like this are a reminder that historic homes aren’t just places to live in, they’re quiet archives. Sometimes their stories are written into deeds and records, and other times they’re hidden in the walls, waiting patiently to be found.
