Descripción del sitio
The Newtowne Manor was constructed in the mid-18th century with a change in roof style in 1816. The site is part of a local historic district and is 100 yards from St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. The mission is the oldest standing Catholic Church in English-speaking America. The site has been owned by the Jesuits since the 17th century. After the site was no longer occupied, it fell into a state of disrepair with broken windows, leaks and lost porches. Adjacent lands have been purchased in hopes of creating a state park that may bring more attention to the site.
