History
Cogswell House, formally known as Brenton House, opened after the Garfat/Mitchell Review was completed in 2000. The mandate was developed separately in consultation with the Department of Community Services. Brenton House operated on Oxford Street in Halifax until October 2002, when the program was moved to Lower Sackville and renamed Cogswell House after Isabella Binney Cogswell, a well know philanthropist and one of the founding members of St. Paul’s Home.
