Most of the buildings on Inn Street were demolished as part of Urban Renewal in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The demolition of the area was stopped and restoration and renewal was adopted. Today Inn Street is a thriving pedestrian mall, it was completed in 1974 and downtown Newburyport is a national example of historic preservation. ~ History courtesy of the City of Newburyport, Historic Property Surveys
