St. John's, NL, A1C2A5

About the property (MLS: 1281724):

The present Benevolent Irish Society Building (BIS), constructed of stone and masonry in 1877, represents Second Empire architecture and one of the few structures in St. John's that withstood the great fire of 1892. Refinished from its shell after the fire in 1894, the BIS building that housed the oldest charitable and social organization in Newfoundland dating back to 1806, became the home of one of the first silent movie theatres in North America from 1907 to 1960, "The Nickel Theatre". At the turn of the 21st century, the BIS was converted to three remarkable private residences, and today, for the first time since residential conversion, the 5,200 sf.
