The business began in Roxboro in 1888 with George Angel Newell. In 1905, his son William Henry Badger Newell built this building. Two subsequent generations of the Newell family operated the jewelry business continuously at this location until October 2004. In 2008, Hayden Wheeler Newell III, a descendant of the original builder, renovated the building with a loft apartment upstairs and a commercial space downstairs.
