Project Description:
The Newport Woolen Mills, also known as the Dexter Richards & Sons Mill, is currently undergoing a transformative renovation. This historic four-story brick building in Newport, NH, once a thriving textile production facility along the Sugar River, will soon become 70 new affordable housing units. While the renovations will introduce modern amenities, plumbing, and mechanical systems, many of the building’s original architectural features—such as the arched windows, hardwood floors, and interior structural beams—will be preserved, maintaining the character and history of this significant landmark.
The project is funded in part by Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits and requires strict conformance with the Secretary of the Interior’s treatment standards for preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction. This multi-unit residential project is expected to be completed in early 2025.
