The Hydrostone area was built as relief housing after the Halifax Explosion of 1917. Completed in 1920, it was designed according to the most up to date town planning principles of the time. Constructed of "hydro-stone" concrete blocks, the 325 dwellings were built along realligned streets with wide treed courts. The area was designed by town planner Thomas Adams, and was Canada's first government-assisted housing project. This small green space contains an interpretative display about the area.
