Tucked away on a quiet side street in historic downtown Newport, this charming two-story building dates all the way back to 1766! The property is half residential, half retail, and Innovative Construction had the pleasure of bringing back all of its faded beauty with a gentle restoration. With the bottom retail section of the structure complete, the old exposed beams stand tall against the newly sheetrocked and painted interior walls. The hardwood floors were stripped, sanded and re-sealed to a glossy shine. All new electrical wiring was put in, running along the ceiling and the exposed posts, which gives the historic building a touch of modern industrial style. Finally, a fresh coat of paint on the exterior welcomes tourists to this lovely little gem of a jewelry store. One final note about this property, the historic plaque to the right of the front door reads, Built by Joshua Saunders for his daughter Freelove Remson 1766.
