Granville Mall is downtown Halifax's pedestrian shopping streetscape. Situated on a stretch of Granville Street, the buildings' historical facades are Italianate-style, dating back to the early 1860s. They replace older buildings which burned in the Granville Street Fire of 1859 which destroyed much of the financial district. The mall feature bars, pubs, restaurants, art galleries and boutique stores. Granville Mall is also home to the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD).
