Description du lieu patrimonial
The Nathaniel Morris House is a two-and-a-half storey, steep-gable wooden house located in Trinity, Trinity Bay. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Nathaniel Morris House has been designated a Registered Heritage Structure because it has architectural value.
Architecturally, the Nathaniel Morris House is significant because it is a good example of the style of dwelling built in the 19th century for the upper middle class residents of rural Newfoundland. Though the overall structure of this house conformed to the traditional building styles of the region, the exterior embellishments clearly showed that the owner was of importance to the community. The original owner of the house, Nathaniel Morris, was well known throughout the community as he was a dry goods manager for the prominent Trinity merchant, Mr. Bremner. His accumulated wealth allowed him to add features to the house that the average fisherman would not have bothered with. The two large windows of the front façade are quite decorative, each consisting a central 6/6 window surrounded by two 2/2 side windows. The main doorway features a number of classical elements, including pilasters and a partial pediment. Situated near two other historic buildings in Trinity, this grouping of houses provide a social record of housing of the region, a reflection of the residents social standing within the community.
