William Ellis Saint House Municipal Heritage Building

William Ellis Saint House has architectural and cultural landscape values in Bonavista.

William Ellis Saint House was built in 1899, and is a good example of vernacular residential architecture in Newfoundland of the period between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There have been few alterations to the design of the building since its construction, so most style elements remain intact.

William Ellis Saint House has cultural landscape value in the community of Bonavista, as it is located at a high elevation amid a rocky outcrop locally known as Ragged Rocks, in an historic area of town known as Canaille. Together with its two-storey height, this location makes William Ellis Saint House a highly visible building.
