  • Once Called America's Versailles, Newport, Rhode Island's Charm Still
    Once called America’s Versailles, Newport, Rhode Island’s charm still lies in its National Registered Historic Landmark District. It is a seaside city on Aquidneck Island, 37 miles southeast of Providence, Rhode Island. The population of Newport is approximately 25,000. Newport gives a picture of America’s Gilded Age with palatial mansions where the rich built summer homes that were more like hotels. The Breakers, Elms, Rosecliff and Marble House are on most tourists’ agendas when in the area. Other sites to see are Rose Island Lighthouse, Rough Point, Cliff Walk and Newport’s Rocky Coastline. When it comes to historic preservation, Doris Duke is remembered by locals with much admiration. Born in 1912, Ms. Duke was the daughter of an American tobacco tycoon. Her philanthropic interests were as varied as her world travels, social life and interest in the arts. Until her death in 1992, Doris Duke was a major player in preserving more than 80 historic buildings in Newport. Today the Duke Charitable Foundation still exists and sponsors many social and health concerns. Newport was one of the earliest settlements in Rhode Island, along with Providence and Portsmouth. Newport was founded in 1639. It began as a beacon for religious tolerance and political freedom. People who had been persecuted in Europe heard of Newport’s acceptance and came to live and work there. An important seaport town during the 18th century, Newport played an important part in what was known as the Triangle Trade (1739‐1760). From sugar and molasses converted to rum and shipped to Africa for slaves, fortunes were made by those in that business.

  • 48 Spring Street
    REPORT ON THE NEWPORT SPRING SITE: ITS HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE 48 SPRING STREET PREPARED BY: THE NEWPORT HISTORICAL SOCIETY PREPARED FOR: THE NEWPORT SPRING LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE FEBRUARY 1, 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT STUDY AREA SOURCES AND METHODS HISTORICAL OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION OF SITE/ EXISTING CONDITIONS Summary Statement Representative Photos Architectural Description Existing Conditions Architectural Context HISTORY 1639-1850 1850-2015 PLANS AND COMMUNITY PLANNING ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS APPENDICES Cover: Spring Street site, circa 1935. Left: Detail of Ezra Stiles’ 1758 map of Newport, Redwood Library Collection 2 THE PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT Newport, Rhode Island was founded in 1639 by nine families who fled religious persecution in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and came to the southern end of Aquidneck Island via Providence and Portsmouth. A freshwater spring, noted in early reports, came to the surface in the area that would become the first center of the settlement. The spring no longer surfaces, but its location has long been presumed to be at the corner of Spring and Barney Streets, on the grounds of a long standing gas station. In his “Memoir of Rhode Island” (1832), Henry Bull IV describes the settlement of Newport around the spring. A footnote indicates that the spring site “has recently been covered by the erection of a stable on the land of the heirs of Edward Hazard on Spring street, at the foot of Barney.” When the final owner of the gas station, Mr. Neil Coffey, made his desire to retire known to the community, a group of private citizens came together to purchase the site to save it from further development.
