Wandering on Historic Hill


I grabbed my camera for few hours of entertainment while strolling near my parent's weekend house in Newport, RI. Their house is in the Historic Hill district, which, like their house, dates from colonial times.


There are some fairly strict regulations on the appearances of homes, specifically their facades, so that the district retains some of its historic feeling. You are only allowed to display a maximum of three colors on the front of your house, so generally a main color, a trim color, and a vibrant door color.
