Thanks for that interesting link.

It would seem that some of the design elements from Berwick also showed up at Fort Henry. The stone here is limestone, and most of the old buildings in the Kingston area are made of it, not just the Fort.

One of the longest military restoration projects in Canada is the French era fortress of Loiusbourg , in Nova Scotia. When I was a young cadet in 1962, at summer camp in NS, we toured the site , and at that time the restoration had just begun. It took untill 1996, to finish the massive project.

Here is a link to the site:
