[may be conflicting] the previous is from Salve edu study, I also get this from NRHP , (will check and edit) -
Newport Gas Company Building (ca1875): A simple, shingled 2-story, flat-roof building with a full-width wood-and-plate-glass storefront on the first story, six regularly spaced windows on the façade’s second story, and a broad, simple cornice. In the late 19th century, the Newport Gas Company occupied the block of Thames Street east of Byrnes Street from Lee Avenue to McAllister Street; this may be the one remnant of that complex.
