Brick Market

Newport's historic Brick Market is now occupied by the Museum of Newport History.

 

 

On the western side of Washington Square is the Brick Market, a Newport landmark.

Designed by Peter Harrison and built in 1762, its name derives from its use as a market and its brick construction—no bricks were sold here.

Having served variously as a town hall, theater, and crafts center, it is now the home of the Museum of Newport History.
