Description du lieu patrimonial
The Adam Mouland Property is comprised of a two-storey house with a steeply pitched gable roof and a one-storey fisherman’s store, together located in Bonavista. The designation is confined to the property.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Adam Mouland Property is significant because of its historical and architectural values.
Historically, this property is important because it is representative of an era when the people of Bonavista relied heavily on the inshore fishery for survival. At the time when this house was constructed it was common for residents to have a number of fishery-related outbuildings on their property. As the dependency on the fishery dwindled, so too did the number of outbuildings needed by the residents of Bonavista. The fish store located on the Adam Mouland property is significant because it serves as a visual reminder of a traditional homestead; a type that is disappearing from the Newfoundland landscape.
The house on this property is equally important because it is a good representation of the way in which outport builders in Bonavista interpreted the gable roofed house style. The simple, yet decorative window and door trim reflect the builder’s expressive style and craftsmanship.
