Job Description

About NRF: The Newport Restoration Foundation (NRF) exists to preserve and restore Newport’s extraordinary architectural heritage — one of the most significant concentrations of colonial and early American historic buildings in the US. Founded in 1968 by Doris Duke, NRF has spent more than five decades acquiring, restoring, and stewarding, over 80 historic properties throughout Newport and Newport County, ensuring that these structures remain vibrant anchors of community life for generations to come.
