Naming the Houses: A Community Panel Discussion
Rough Point Museum 680 Bellevue Avenue, Newport, RI, United StatesWho decides how to name a house? And can one name tell a whole house's history? Join us for a panel-led discussion of the naming conventions on historic house properties. As we are uncovering the stories of the lives and lived experiences of past residents, we are also rethinking the process of naming houses—especially when the name on the house does not accurately reflect these stories. We will use examples from NRF’s Preservation Properties to frame the discussion and invite you to join the conversation.
