Moorland Farm Condominiums (ca 1980-92):
A group of 12 2- to 4-unit condominiums arranged in 3 curving rows along the crest of the hill west of Hammersmith Road. Built of clapboard and shingled with complex hip and cross-gable roofs, they somewhat take their architectural cues from late 19th- century forms commonly found in Newport but here are recombined in thoroughgoingly late 20th- century fashion.

Not readily visible from Hammersmith Road, they form a prominent and visually disturbing backdrop to the golf course of the Newport Country Club, 264 Harrison Avenue (q.v.), especially from many locations along Harrison Avenue. (12 non-contributing buildings)
