 house, place with historical importance

BUILT: circa 1712
The Daniel Carr House was built c.1712 and stands on the original site. It has a steep gable roof and a one-room-deep plan so often found in Newport buildings in the first quarter of the eighteenth century. Both the wide overhang of the roof in the front and end positions of the chimney are features that indicate an early, simple Newport house. It was purchased by the Newport Restoration Foundation in 1974 and restored in 1976. (cont.- www.newportrestoration.org/preservation/historic_houses...
