It has not been possible to date these premises but, on the basis of style, it is reasonable to suggest that they were built about the turn of the century. Their degree of preservation extends to the paint colours -- a fine Victorian combination of maroon, ochre and white. The premises are presently being restored for use as a yacht club. Hodges were active in Twillingate for almost a century (1871-1960) and they survived the financial disasters of the 1890's which left many Newfoundland merchants destitute.
