Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House

The Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House in Newport, RI is the oldest surviving house in the city, built in 1697. Throughout its history, the house has been owned by prominent figures such as merchants, lawyers, and Revolutionary War veterans, reflecting the tastes and aspirations of Newport's thriving seaport town. The house has been restored by renowned architect Norman Isham, who chose to reveal many styles and periods, providing a unique look at the evolution of one of Rhode Island's earliest homes. Enslaved Africans, including individuals like Cardardo Wanton, who was manumitted in 1775, have also been a part of the house's history. The Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House is a truly vernacular house, with each modification based on the owner's background, family needs, and the architectural influences of a commercial and cosmopolitan entrepot like Newport. Today, the house stands as a testament to Newport's rich history and offers visitors a glimpse into the past.Generated from the website
