Valeur patrimoniale
The John and Ann Brinson House has been designated because of its aesthetic and cultural value.
The John and Ann Brinson House has aesthetic value as it is an excellent regional example of vernacular design, noteworthy for its age. Built in the late 1800s, it is a representative example of the craftsmanship of outport builders, standing as a testament to the permanence of their construction techniques. While utilizing simple design elements which resulted in plain, neat symmetrical facades, such homes are impressive because of their quiet, refined simplicity.
The John and Ann Brinson House has cultural value as it evokes a certain sense of time and place. Carmanville, settled in the 1820s, was still a relatively young community when John Brinson constructed his home. It now stands as a physical and visual reminder of the formative days of the community.
