Built in 1855 by Job Almy Peckham—then owner of Newport’s largest lumberyard—33 Kay Street is one of a trio of homes characterized by wide gables, intricate double brackets, and elegant decorative columns framing a generous entry porch. Inside, soaring ceilings, exquisite period moldings, and eight fireplaces speak to the craftsmanship and architectural sensibilities of the era. 33 Kay Street is a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of Newport’s architectural heritage for investment or personal use.
