NEWPORT Newport Restoration Foundation recently announced a grant-funded Historic Structure Report is currently underway on one of their most historically significant homes, the William Vernon House (ca. 1708) located on Clarke Street.
A Historic Structure Report studies a property from every perspective to fully understand the history of the resource, its current condition and the work needed to ensure its future preservation. This will be the first time a comprehensive report of this kind will be performed on this home.
NRF received the William Vernon House from a donor in 2009, however, a member of the donor’s family occupied it for nine years. NRF’s full stewardship of the home began in 2018. Having now been entrusted with preserving this amazing resource, NRF wants to be certain each step it takes in the preservation process is the appropriate and logical next step.
