The church is prominently located on Carleton Street at the head of Wellington Row, a steeply graded street in the downtown area of the city of Saint John, New Brunswick. The formal recognition is confined to the footprint of the church with its 1872 chancel addition, and does not include an adjoining parish hall built in 1891.

The dining room, with its grand table, symbolizes community and shared meals, while the library, filled with books, reflects the family's intellectual pursuits. Outside, the lush gardens once served as a gathering place, nurturing both food and friendships.

As your visit concludes, you realize the Loyalist House is more than a museum; it’s a connection to the past, reminding you of the courage and unity that shaped this vibrant community.
