Built in 1787, Cossit House is one of the oldest surviving homes in Sydney and possibly one of the oldest buildings on Cape Breton Island. Named after its original owner, Reverend Ranna Cossit, the house depicts 18th-century life and serves as the cornerstone of the city's North-End Heritage Conservation District.
After the American Revolution, Rev. Cossit was assigned to the British colony at Cape Breton, which at the time was separate from mainland Nova Scotia. Accompanied by his wife and growing family, Rev. Cossit became the region's first Anglican pastor, playing a key role in Sydney's social and political development.
