This December, we're supporting ‘69-’96: A Closer Look at a House in Common, a house tour in Newport at 15 Dresser St, focusing on the three totally exceptional, incredibly normal families who lived there at different times from 1969-1996. The project asks people to think about a Newport history that spans the opening of the Newport Bridge to the X Games at Fort Adams, as lived in a classic Victorian. The middle class families whose lives were held at 15 Dresser St worked at Sears and for the Navy, ran an antique store, blasted the Smashing Pumpkins and grew weed in the attic. All of these histories exist in Newport though they are never illuminated by the glossy spreads in the tourist traps.

The producers will use fund to help produce related digital assets; the event will be free and open to the public.
