> Alexander Keith was born on October 5, 1795, at Halkirk on the River
Thurso, six miles from the town of Thurso in Caithnesshire, Scotland. The
cradle in which he was rocked in his earliest days is still preserved in
Keith's Hall, Halifax. His Father was a highly respected farmer and chief of
the clan Keith.
> In his boyhood youth, he received the benefit on an excellent education.
> Business Career
> In 1812, at the age of seventeen, he went to Sunderland, England, then the
center of the brewing trade in Northern England, where he was placed under
the instruction of his uncle to learn the brewing and malting business. At
that time there were four large breweries and eight smaller ones in the town
of Sunderland. He seems to have also had experience in both London and
Edinburgh.
> Five years later he embarked for Halifax, where on his arrival he became
sole brewer and business manager for Charles Boggs, who carried on business
on Argyle Street on a property assessed to Lawrence Pender. In 1820, Mr.
Keith purchased the growing business from Mr. Boggs and continued it on his
own account.
> In the Acadian Recorder, July 7, 1821, appeared the following
advertisement: "Alexander Keith begs leave to inform his friends and the
public in general, that he has commenced the brewing business in the house
lately occupied by Mr. L. Pender, Argyle Street, opposite Dalhousie College,
where he intends to brew strong ales, porter, ginger wine, table and spruce
beer; and hopes by strict attention to his business, added to his long
experience in the above line both in London and Edinburgh, and also in this
to
> wn, to merit a share of the public patronage and support."
> Shortly afterwards however, the business was removed to its present site
on Lower Water Street, where a large stone building was erected occupying
several acres. The site had been previously owned by Wm. Story & Son,
well-known merchants of that period and the joint owners of a brewery
operated by Lydiard and Story near the same site. Upon this site were
subsequently constructed solid and substantial granite buildings, replacing
the original building. The vaults and cellars of the later buildings are
most e
> xtensive.
> In 1853, Mr. Keith's son, Donald G. Keith, was admitted to partnership and
the name "Alexander Keith & Son" adopted, which name has been retained until
the present time. Mr. Donald Keith died in 1886 without issue and his three
sisters continued the business.
> One of the earliest managers of the business was Mr. George Fraser, Mayor
of Halifax from 1881 to 1883. For many years he was Secretary of the
District Grand Lodge of Nova Scotia (Scottish Constitution) of which body he
was for a term, Grand Warden. From 1869 until his death in 1889 he
represented the Grande Lodge of Scotland near the Grand Lodge of Nova
Scotia. He died in Truro, in February 28, 1889, at the age of 68.
> HIS RESIDENCE
> About 1835, Mr. Keith built the double house of "Keith Hall" and lived in
the north end of it until Keith Hall was completed. From this house he built
an underground passage to the great granite brewery on Water Street. It
began almost two storied underground from the Hollis Street level and ran in
the level, under the garden. This passage is still in use by the present
owners, A. Keith & Son.
> KEITH HALL
> In 1863, Mr. Keith began the erection of Keith Hall, built of Wallace
stone. In those days it was the custom to make a ceremony of laying the
corner stone of a new home and in the files of a Halifax paper published on
that year, we fins the announcement that, "the corner stone of a new
residence if the Hon. Alexander Keith on Hollis Street, was laid by that
gentleman in the presence of some of his friends with appropriate ceremony,
after which the workmen, and others were entertained with a repast."
> Again, on the completion of the new home, Mr. Keith gave a sumptuous
dinner to all the workmen engaged in its construction.
> Keith Hall was sold to the Halifax Council of the Knights of Columbus
about 1912, but was resold in 1949 to A. Keith & Son Ltd. and is now used by
that company as its Head Office.
> AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
> Tradition says that during the Civil War in the United States (1861 -
1865), many Halifax families were much more interested in the success of the
South than of the North. While many a young man from the city and from other
parts of the province served in the Union armies, for adventure's sake, a
considerable number were engaged in a blockade running to southern ports.
> Business interests in the capital city were closely associated with the
South, perhaps because of the intimate link of the the latter with Britain
due to the similarity of upper class customs based upon many retainers and
large estates.
> It is a tradition that the Hon. Alexander Keith on more than one occasion
assisted southern raiders, captured off this port, to escape when they were
being landed with a guard at one of the docks along the waterfront. By sheer
impertinence, as a paper of the day called it, he stood before the guard
while the men leaped into a boat and were rowed across the harbor to escape
neat Dartmouth. The newspaper discussed the event in such general terms that
it is impossible at this latter date to piece them together

circumstances.
