The Spence Root Cellar in Brigus, Newfoundland, is owned by Marcia Spence. The cellar was originally built in the mid-1800s by Sandy Roberts and was used to store vegetables up until the 1960s.

This root cellar has a stone wall foundation that is built into the hill, mounded with rocks on both sides, and has a stacked rock exterior on the front.
