The Ross House at Newmarket

The Ross House restoration and adaptive reuse project is located on historic Headhouse Square at the entrance to Newmarket. This extensive project involved the reconstruction of a group of 18th century townhouses. The corner house was originally owned by Captain John Ross, a merchant and purchasing agent for the U.S. Continental Congress army during the revolutionary war. The original structures were carefully stripped of the ravages of decades of neglect and decay and then were reconstructed to their original period style, with the addition of contemporary mechanical and electrical systems as well as a multi-level exterior veranda facing the contemporary retail plaza. The structure now houses approx. 16,700 SF of prime commercial, retail and office space with a traditional appearance to complement the historic panorama of the surrounding neighborhood.
