Terra Nova Rural Park, Parson House


The Parson house is currently under reconstruction. The home was originally built by Joshua Parsons who worked as a Carpenter for the Nova Cannery company. This is a typical Newfoundland, plan Victorian side-hall cottage, 2-story, 3 bedroom, parlour and scullery home with a central chimney and bay window. The home was later inhabited by several families who fished the local waters from the 1880 until the 1960s.
