About Noble House
Some homes are built. Others accumulate—layer by layer, life by life, story by story—until the walls themselves seem to remember. Noble House is the latter.
Sitting in the heart of Lewisporte, Newfoundland, Noble House is more than a place to stay. It carries the history of the families who loved it and the spirit of the island itself.
A Town Worth Knowing

Settled in 1876, Lewisporte grew from a rugged coastal outport into one of Newfoundland's most vital hubs: a place shaped by fishing, logging, shipbuilding, and an unshakeable community spirit. Its deep-water harbour earned it the title "Gateway to the North," connecting the island to Labrador.
That community spirit has never wavered. When stranded airline passengers needed shelter after September 11, 2001, Lewisporte opened its arms without hesitation, a gesture entirely in keeping with the character of a town that has always known how to take care of its own.
Noble House stands in the middle of all of it, a few steps from the ocean, rooted in that same tradition of warmth and welcome.
The Story of the House

Noble House’s original owner was one of Lewisporte’s most influential citizens. Malcolm (Mac) Russell (1912—1958), born in Bay Roberts but moved to Lewisporte between 1935 and 1945, was manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia and later manager of Lewisporte Wholesalers. Tragically, Russell drowned on April 23, 1958, in Indian Arm Pond near Notre Dame Junction. Subsequent to his death, his wife, Eileen (1911—1988, née Haynes, from Catalina), remained in the home for about four years with their two daughters before selling it to the Perrys.
In 1962, the Perry family purchased the house and property after relocating from Indian Islands in Notre Dame Bay. The Perrys were boatbuilders and skilled tradespeople in the truest Newfoundland sense: shaping not just wood but the character of their community.

Daphne Perry, the daughter of Jethro F. (1920—2000) and Alice Maude (Gale) Perry (1926—1958), became its sole owner in 1999. Daphne and her husband, Kevin Noble (a Newfoundland actor whose work the CBC brought to screens across the country), who died in 2023, made the home their summer refuge for years. Now Noble House also carries Kevin Noble’s name and spirit: creative, rooted, proud of its heritage.
The current owners acquired Noble House in 2025, stepping into its story with a deep respect for everything the walls hold. The rooms have been thoughtfully restored to offer genuine comfort without erasing a single thread of the history woven into them.
