ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW
The East Row Historic District of Newport, Kentucky contains an excellent collection of late 19th and early 20th century urban house styles. The area is significant not only for its quality and quantity of residential architecture but also for its display of the evolution of styles during this period. As East Newport was subdivided from the 1870s to the 1920s each successive block going from west to east was developed with the prevailing architectural designs of its period.
On the western streets of the area such as Washington Avenue and Overton and Monroe Streets, the Italianate style of the 1880s and 1890s predominate. Further east along Park and Maple Avenues variations of the Queen Anne style and Colonial Revival style of the early 1900s are common. As development of the area was completed in the 1910s and 1920s designs of the Bungalow and Craftsman styles were built along Linden Avenue and Oak Street. This display of architectural evolution can be observed along the six blocks extending from west to east through much of the area and is a significant aspect of its appearance.
