Edward King House, National Historic Landmark and residential building in Newport, United States.
The Edward King House features brick construction with a three-story tower, arched windows, and Italian Villa architectural elements spanning multiple levels.
Merchant Edward King commissioned architect Richard Upjohn to design this residence between 1845 and 1847, making it the largest house in Newport at that time.
The building transformed from a private residence to Newport Public Library in 1912 before becoming a senior center that serves over 16,000 visitors annually.
Located at 35 King Street, the Edward King House Senior Center provides educational programs, social activities, and support services for adults over fifty.
The structure received recognition in Andrew Jackson Downing's 1850 publication 'The Architecture of Country Houses' as an exemplar of Italian style architecture.
