The Kenny-Dennis building has a rich and varied history. The building was originally constructed by T. & E. Kenny Merchants in 1841 as a two-and-a-half storey stone warehouse with a hipped roof. The business of T. & E. Kenny Merchants was founded by two prominent Irish Catholic businessmen of the city who were active in civic, social, and governmental life. Sir Edward Kenny and his son went on to found the Merchants’ Bank of Halifax which later changed its name to the Royal Bank of Canada. David Stirling redesigned the warehouse building for new commercial uses which added two storeys and the prominent granite walls, in 1863. In 1900, William Dennis purchased the Kenny building, added an extra storey, and made it the headquarters of the Halifax Herald newspaper. In 1912, a fire levelled the building and much of the block. Architect Henry Jost's new design reconstructed the shell of the building in steel and concrete to support the structural stability of the four-storey granite walls and the addition of three new storeys.
