Hello Neighbors -- As you finish your spring/start of summer cleaning and elimination of things you no longer need, please keep the upcoming ERHF Yard Sale in mind! Shoppers enjoy getting yard tools, household items, toys, clothing, plants, summertime items and more, and residents enjoy the opportunity to clear out the garage and closets as summer kicks off. It doesn't matter if you have a lot to sell or a little. We have so many sales along our sidewalks that you'll fit right in no matter what, and your items will likely go fast, especially early in the morning.
Hats off to the East Row Historic Foundation for doing all the legwork including coordination, advertising and signage, plus ERHF pays all fees for participating residents of Newport's East Row historic neighborhood.
Click here for a map.
If you have goodies to sell, just send an email to Paula Bandon at pabrand1@yahoo.com with your name, address, which day or days you are participating (Sat.? Sun.?), and an idea of anything you'd like to publicize on the map in the way of items you are selling. on the map in the way of items you are selling. I can include 2 photos on your map listing, so feel free to send me a couple photos of items you are selling if you want.
Dumpster info
We will once again have the Junk King donation dumpster available for leftover items, or for those who want to downsize but are not participating in the sale. The dumpster will be located at 728 E 9th Street (near Dreamwraps) and will be available all day Saturday and on Sunday until 4 pm.
A few requests:
Please wrap all glassware and put neatly in a sealed box. Wrapping and properly boxing glass and fragile items will help prevent them from breaking during transit.
Please NO furniture (it takes up too much space).
Small appliances only.
Please stack things as neatly as possible and as far back in the dumpster as you can reach. This allows us to fit more items into the dumpster.
This is a donation dumpster, not a trash dumpster. Please donate items that are reusable.
We partner with Junk King Cincinnati for this donation dumpster. Junk King works with, and donates to, many local non-profits. They have won numerous awards for their community involvement. They are also stewards of the environment and do their best to donate, reuse, repurpose, or recycle every item that comes to them, including broken items. Beyond the yard sale, I would encourage you to consider them for your hauling or junk removal needs. (Tell them I referred you and you might receive a discount depending on the project.)
Thanks, and happy selling!

Thank you for your previous participation in the Newport East Row Renovation Happy Hour Program; here are details (written by the owners) of the property which is the subject of our upcoming event. It is a pleasure to see a long neglected property brought back to life in a loving restoration.
Thursday, May 21st 6-8 PM.
901 Saratoga
Built in the 1880’s, but vacant for decades, 901 Saratoga, at the corner of 9th and Saratoga, is a prominently located example of urban corner store development during the one of Newport’s periods of rapid growth. The exterior retains the original Italianate design elements. The interior suffered significant alteration and demolition prior to the current owner’s acquisition, but the current state of restoration will allow you to see a “from the walls and studs” example of the early stages of a major renovation project.
Acquired in late 2024 by local Newport residents, and with restoration overseen by Architect Cassidy Staver (NStil Studios) and General Contractor, James ‘Pete’ Lloyd (Renovate Revive), 901 Saratoga was long neglected and vacant for decades, but serves as an excellent example of what the earliest stages of preservation, rehabilitation and restoration can look like.
The late 19th-century mixed-use masonry building at the intersection of Saratoga Street and East 9th Street was originally a daily market/meat market, and later a saloon, with residences on the upper floors. Its prominent location and prominent three-story structure would have made it a local landmark and commercial anchor within the neighborhood.
Despite exterior deterioration and interior alterations over the years, the building retains its original scale, form, and defining architectural features which are being preserved, including arched window openings, brick cornices, and the chamfered entrance, elements indicative of Italianate design influences.
The restoration will result in a three residential units along with the return of the commercial storefront as well as a restored, but non-historic three car garage.

From Tiffany Budd
Greetings neighbors,
Summer 2026 will mark the fourth year of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program! Many thanks to those of you who have participated and/or continue to participate. You make this program a success!
For those new to the neighborhood or who would like to learn more about the CSA program, I will be hosting a virtual event on March 5, 6-7 pm. You can sign up here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/shLI3QDxSuK-DD4lyxCalw#/registration. We will review the CSA program in detail and you will be able to ask questions. You will also get to meet the farmers we partner with at Elmwood Stock Farm. As a bonus, one lucky participant will win a CSA cookbook!
o How it works: You buy a “share” of Elmwood Stock farm, which is an organic farm in Kentucky. You get a box of veggies each week during the summer. Each box is fully customizable. The farm has many other products you can add on (eggs, flowers, organic meat, honey, bread, coffee, and more).
Feel free to share this out to local friends and family. The CSA program is open to anyone. Our pick up is at Wooden Cask on Wednesdays, but Elmwood also delivers to various locations around the area.
Thanks, and hope to see you virtually on March 5!

Winter Block Party on 7th Street between Overton and Monroe.
Food truck and music.
Open to all.
Please join us for another Renovation Happy Hour, Thursday , November 20, 6-8 PM, at 227 East 9th St. The property owners are Aaron Sutherland and Nicole Hilvert.
This 1880 row house, acquired by Aaron Sutherland and Nicole Hilvert in 2024, originally functioned as a duplex, likely serving railroad workers along Saratoga Street. Over time, alterations removed its bay windows and primary entrances, while vinyl siding concealed the historic façade.
Renovation began in March 2025, revealing a deteriorated stone foundation, rotted joists, and walls set directly on grade. Although the Kentucky Heritage Council determined the property no longer contributed to the East Newport Historic District and denied historic tax credits, the owners undertook a full restoration. The original façade and window openings have been reinstated, while a rear addition provides two bedrooms and baths. Completion is anticipated in December 2025.
