Ryan Premises National Historic Site

The Ryan Premises is preserved merchant facility that was started by James Ryan. Facilities like this were an integral part of the fishing industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. This site contains buildings from the 1900's from the proprietor's home as well as several other buildings dedicated to the business.
