The Newell Farm Manor is significant as a fine Greek Revival/Federal Style Home. In 1978, the Newell Farm was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The Historic Newell Farm Manor is situated on a gentle rise, set back about 200 feet from the street, amid landscaped grounds and mature shade trees. The old carriage drive circling the front of the residence still can be seen. It was built partly of materials from buildings demolished in 1845 to make room for an addition to the Massachusetts State House. Colonel Moses Newell transported loads of butchered meat from his farm to Charlestown Navy Yard. Returning by way of Beacon Hill, building materials were brought back, including windowsills, folding shutters, soapstone mantels and fine woodwork.
The main portion is a five-bay, brick 2 ˝ story home with a center entrance. The ridge roof has gable ends, four interior end chimneys and a Greek Revival entablature, above which is a four course frieze and a two course cornice. A narrower, two-story extension extends to the rear, two bays deep with a doorway in the westernmost bay.
The interior contains over fourteen plus rooms, including four on the third floor, plus main halls running east west and side halls north south on both floors. The windows in the main section have interior shutters with six or eight panels and with hinges made by J. Clark & Son, a long-standing English firm. There are ten fireplaces, which vary in style and materials, from marble, to wood and soapstone, or brick.
The kitchen is a magnificent state of the arts gourmet English kitchen. Recent renovations consist of enlarging the kitchen to include the old carriage room and the addition of a new entranceway, which consist of ornate moldings, a copper roof and landscaping. New features include a fireplace with ornate English tiles, French doors, imported French floor tiles/antique wood flooring, exposed brick, brick arch, period lighting, tin and copper ceiling panels with exposed wooden beams, radiant heat and custom arch windows. The cabinets are “Smallbone” reproductions that were custom made by David Leblanc in West Newbury. The English cabinets consist of a plate and wine rack, China cabinet, book case, pantry cabinet, vegetable baskets and island cabinetry with a slate sink. The counter tops consist of Russian granite. The sink is made of slate. Appliances include an English AGA stove, stainless Sub Zero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Viking wine refrigerator and stainless steel trash compactor and microwave.
