Peter Harrison House (Newport, Rhode Island)

 house, place with historical importance, apartment building

Apartment (mid-18th century, ca 1861, ca 1980):

A large, shingled, 21⁄2-story Pseudo-Stick-style
NC apartment building with poured-concrete foundation, symmetrical façade, 1-over-1 and casement windows, and cross-gable roof with asymmetrically placed chimneys on the ridgeline.

This may somewhere inside incorporate the 18th-century house of Peter Harrison, one of the district’s first summer residents after the original settlement by the Brentons in the 17th century. That house was moved to this location by Edward King in the mid-19th century and was used as a summer residence by Bret Harte and Jerome Bonaparte, Baltimore resident and nephew of the French emperor. It had already been divided
into multiple apartments before its unfortunate remodeling in the late 20th century.
