Murray Premises, National historic site and warehouse in St. John's, Canada
Murray Premises consists of three interconnected waterfront buildings with sturdy masonry walls and heavy timber framing near St. John's harbor.
The construction of these buildings occurred between 1847 and 1849 for maritime trade, surviving the Great Fire of 1892 that destroyed much of downtown.
The premises reflect the commercial maritime heritage through their architecture and position within the Water Street Historic District of St. John's.
The buildings now house the Murray Premises Hotel with 69 rooms, several restaurants, and boutique shops along the waterfront.
The structures maintain their original rubble masonry, exposed wooden beams, and brick nogging from nineteenth-century construction methods.
