Of the 418 contributing buildings, 361 are residences. Notable commercial buildings include the Graham Hotel (1871), Butz Building (1875), and Centennial Building (1876). The remains of the Jones Warehouse date prior to 1820 and are a part of the David M. Myers Warehouse.[2]
In 2004, the Newport Square underwent a revitalization project, during which all overhead power lines were moved underground or rerouted. Updates included the addition of period-style streetlamps, as well as ornamental trees, brick planters and new flag poles. These changes helped return the square to a more historical appearance.
