The Bay de Verde Heritage Premises located in the scenic fishing town of Bay de Verde consists of the Blundon House, a fish store and flake, a store loft, the Blundon family cemetery and a boardwalk. The house was built in 1896 by Mr. John Blundon, a local merchant who owned schooners and traded along the coast of Newfoundland.

The house was built to accommodate his lifestyle. The structure of the house is a good example of Merchant Class Victorian housing built on a gable-ell plan with a five sided front porch and fine interior and exterior detailing. It was built in two sections. The main section with its larger rooms, higher ceilings and more elaborate staircase was occupied by the Blundon family. The servant quarters with its smaller rooms, lower ceilings and smaller staircase was occupied by both male and female servants, shipped men, sharemen and sailors.

The house was donated by the Blundon family to the Bay de Verde Heritage Committee in 1996 exactly one hundred years after it was built. It has since been restored and is now used as a heritage house. The other structures on the premises have been constructed over time by the Bay de Verde Heritage Committee.
