A two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom condo in a Gilded Age building
Designed by Dudley Newton, a prolific architect in Newport, this Dutch Renaissance-style house was constructed with locally quarried granite. It dates from 1884, when it was built for the Weld family, a pedigreed clan of merchants, doctors and lawyers, many named William. (The former Massachusetts governor William F. Weld is a descendant.) From 1925 to 1972, the house was a Catholic boys’ school. Then it was converted into multifamily residences, part of a development called the De La Salle Condominiums, with eight buildings and a total of 38 units, four of which are in this structure.
