Ryan Premises, Historic mercantile complex in Bonavista, Canada
The Ryan Premises includes restored buildings dedicated to the Atlantic cod fishery, featuring original structures used for fish processing and storage operations.
James Ryan Ltd established this fishing enterprise in 1857, developing into one of Newfoundland's largest salt fish mercantile firms until operations ceased in 1978.
The site demonstrates the evolution of maritime commerce through exhibits detailing traditional fishing methods, trade practices, and the daily life of fishing families.
Visitors can explore multiple restored buildings, including the Proprietor's House, Carriage House, and Tenement House, with guided tours available during operating hours.
The complex maintains its original spatial layout near the intersection of Ryan's Hill and Old Catalina Road, with preserved wharfs and pebble beaches.
