Daniel Carr House    -    circa  1712 

     The Daniel Carr House has a steep gable roof and a one-room deep plan so often found in Newport buildings in the first quarter of the 18th century. The wide overhang of the roof in the front and the end position of the chimney are both features that indicate an early, simple Newport house.

     There are a couple of houses with the same or similar characteristics in the area.  This may indicate the same builder or at least a shared acceptance of the style.  A late 18th century addition to the rear was kept in the restoration process. The room in this addition on the first floor has an angled fireplace with the flue attached to the existing chimney.

    
      The Carr House is on its original site.  The house was purchased by NRF in 1974 and restored in 1976.
