Heritage NL has designated three properties across the province as heritage structures.

The first building is the Indian Cove One Room School in Labrador.

The school was built in 1940 for the education of Indigenous and settler children, and was used until the community was resettled to nearby Mary’s Harbour in the late 1950’s.

They say the building has remained virtually unchanged since its construction and still includes several pieces of original furniture. Today it is primarily used as a community space.

The second property is the historic Cable Superintendent’s House in Heart’s Content.

It was constructed between 1881 and 1882 as housing for the Superintendent of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. It was built in the Second Empire style and with a mansard roof and dormer windows.

It is located on Parish Hall Hill, next to the Cable Staff House Registered Heritage Structures, and is considered part of the transatlantic cable history of Heart’s Content.

The third designation has been given to the Ross Property in Burin, also known as the Red House.

Built in 1888, Ross House is a 2.5 story saltbox structure with a steep gable roof and a central chimney. The property also includes a small stage and two outbuildings.

It was constructed by William Foot for his daughter Charlotte Foote Ross and her husband George Ross.
