The Empie-Van Dyke House, built in 1905, exemplifies Colonial Revival architecture with its symmetrical design, hipped roof, and prominent porch. The home features classical columns, multi-pane windows, and a central entryway. While it remains a private residence, its exterior offers a textbook example of the style. Visitors can appreciate the well-preserved details like dentil molding and the inviting wraparound porch that reflects early 20th-century domestic life in Newport.
