[1] The Jerry E. Dickerman House is located in downtown Newport, just north of the Goodrich Memorial Library on the east side of Field Avenue.

The central bay projects slightly, and is capped by a larger facade dormer with a bellcast roof outline surrounding a round-arch balcony door opening.

The interior of the main section of the house retains much of its original woodwork, despite a mid-20th century conversion to apartments.

It was moved to its present location in approximately 1930 to make room for a commercial building, and was converted into apartments in the 1940s or 1950s.

Maps of the period show roughly half a dozen Second Empire houses, of which only two are known to remain.
