Ashbourne House (Twillingate)

---

Built on land sold by Edwin Duder to Dr. J. Stafford this house replaces an earlier one which burnt in 1911. Apparently the house was originally built with two storeys, the third storey and the turret-cum-bay being added at a later date. The structure is essentially a large mercantile outport house with Queen Anne modifications in the form of an elaborate porch and turret. The house was purchased by the Ashbournes in 1947. The present owners have an extensive and interesting collection of period antiques and Newfoundland artifacts.
