Description du lieu patrimonial
The Lord Nelson Loyal Orange Lodge 149 is a two storey, classical style fraternal lodge centrally located at 207 Main Road, Woody Point. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
Valeur patrimoniale
The Lord Nelson Loyal Orange Lodge 149 was designated a registered heritage structure because it has aesthetic, historical and environmental values.
The LOL 149 has aesthetic value because it is a fine example of a vernacular interpretation of classical architecture in a fraternal lodge building. The building is a large, two storey structure with many large, arched windows. The simple basilica plan has a gable roof and gable end entrance. A band of wooden panels separate the first floor from the second and the corner boards are decorated with narrow classical pilasters. Each single hung window is arched with an eared trim and keystone feature. Muntins in the upper storey windows add interest, and small rosettes are found on all window trim. The main entrance is set off by the arched, wooden panelled double doors. Directly above the doors on the second floor is the typical Orange Lodge archway, which reflects the identical size and shape of the surrounding windows. Within this keystone arch are some of the usual symbols of the Orange Order; they are the crescent and the star. The meanings of which are privy only to members of the association. The building design is unique to the Northern Peninsula.
The LOL 149 has historical value because it was constructed in 1908, making it one of the oldest buildings in the community.
It is environmentally valuable because it sits on a hill overlooking Woody Point. It is located in the middle of Gros Morne National Park, surrounded by the Tablelands and Gros Morne Mountain, with Woody Point Hills at the rear. The lodge can be seen from anywhere in the community.
