The World War One Cenotaph in Antigonish is located at the Federal Building Grounds, Main St. It was previously located at the intersection of St. Ninian St. and Main St., West end of town (see story regarding the move on p.213). It was built on the above location in October/November of 1937 and was unveiled on November 11, 1937. The material used in its construction was a North Grant (Antigonish County) sandstone. It is a plain obelisk, 17 feet high, tapering to a pointed cap, designed and completed by F.W. Arsenault. The concrete base was put in and donated by the MacDonald Construction Company, Halifax, N.S. On three sides of the monument are black granite slabs on which the names of the dead were carved by W.T. Dalton, Shelburne. On the North side is an inscription composed by Miss K.M. MacDonald, Teacher in England at Morrison High School (1937). It was the people of Antigonish and surrounding areas that donated to the fund toward the building of the Cenotaph in the town of Antigonish.
