The restored Victorian landmark is a historic fixture in the city, serving not only as a museum to prominent African-American attorney J. Thomas Newsome and his wife Mary Winfield Newsome’s accomplishments, but as a venue for exhibitions, special events, and community functions. It was the first structure owned by an African-American to receive a National Historic Preservation Award.
