Celebrate your Historic house with a custom marker!
Similar in style to other existing house plaques, but with the imprimatur and insignia of the Newport Historical Society, these wooden markers can include the original owner’s name and additional important owners, owners’ livelihood, property name, year built, renovation dates and other details specific to the building’s history.
To participate, your property must be at least fifty years old and the Historical Society must have the original owners name(s) in its listings.
House Markers can be purchased for $350 and are sized to 12″ x 17″. The letters are applied rather than painted.
