Mockbeggar Plantation, Bonavista

The Mockbeggar Plantation Provincial Historic Site is "a restored outport merchant premises" in Bonavista, consisting of "a large property with a dwelling house and outbuildings that consist of a large fish store, a barter shop, a cod liver oil factory and a cabinet makers shop." Designated a Provincial Historic Site "because it has historic and aesthetic values," its first known owner was Joseph White (1685-1771) of Poole, England, "who had substantial holdings in the Newfoundland fishery." Bradley House, the dwelling within the plantation, was constructed in 1871 "likely from timbers salvaged from an earlier house." source
