Robertson Building
Salty Shores Inn & Café is located inside the historic Robertson Building, one of Barrington Passage’s most recognizable landmarks. Built in 1909 on the site of the community’s first blacksmith shop, the building originally opened as the Union Bank of Halifax before becoming the Royal Bank of Canada in 1910. It served the community as a bank for over 70 years.
After its years as a financial hub, the building continued serving the community as a library and adult learning centre before being carefully restored and given new life as Salty Shores Inn & Café.
Today, this historic space continues its tradition of serving the community. Upstairs you’ll find two comfortable guest rooms designed for travellers, workers, and visitors exploring Nova Scotia’s South Shore. Downstairs, the café offers a relaxed place to enjoy fresh lunch, good coffee, and conversation.
Many original elements of the building have been preserved during renovations, helping maintain its character while creating a clean, modern space for guests. From its solid brick construction to its distinctive architecture, the building remains a proud part of Barrington Passage’s story.
