The Newport Restoration Foundation stewards one of the largest collections of colonial houses in the country. Our expansive portfolio contains buildings tied to pivotal moments in the history of Newport and the country in general.
These houses have many stories to tell. They reflect the diversity of experiences of generations of Newporters.
The name on the building does not reflect the complete history of the house and its past, present, and future inhabitants. The name points to a specific moment in time, and necessarily privileges one story over many others. We are working to uncover more and are committed to sharing more complex, nuanced, and broader stories about the properties we steward.
