<p>Vinland Estate, was completed in 1884. The&nbsp; Romanesque Revival style “cottage” was built for&nbsp; tobacco heiress Catharine Lorillard Wolfe by the&nbsp; acclaimed architecture firm of Peabody &amp; Stearns. At the time, Catharine Lorillard Wolfe was the richest woman in America. The name ‘Vinland” was bestowed upon the summer cottage in reference to the Vikings who were believed have arrived in Newport hundreds of years before. Ms. Wolfe was inspired by a poem&nbsp; written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow which spoke of the Vikings’ journey across the Atlantic. It is because of this poem that Vinland Estate bears many Celtic and Nordic motifs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 1896, Vinland was sold to railroad tycoon Hamilton McKown Twombly and his wife Florence Adele Vanderbilt Twombly. A decade later, Vinland underwent a massive renovation which included an addition deigned by Peabody &amp; Stearns. The renovation also included an interior redecoration by Ogden Codman, who was also responsible for decorating the upper floors of “The Breakers”.&nbsp;</p><p>Vinland has many interesting Nordic-inspired architectural features. Indeed, the facade of the building&nbsp;features carved capitals and decorated in scrollwork, and the windows are embellished with&nbsp;Celtic and Nordic iconographic elements.&nbsp;One of the most intriguing parts about the interior design were the stained glass windows located on&nbsp;the first floor landing. The subjects featured in the upper portion of the window are the Norse gods Thor, Odin, and Frey. The lower portion of the windows included&nbsp;historical viking figures Thorfinn, his Wife Gudridr, and the renowned Leif Erikson. These windows are no longer installed, having been sold to a private collector in 1934.<br></p><p>In 1955, the estate was donated to the Sisters of Mercy. Today, the seaside cottage serves as an academic building for Salve Regina University and is better known to students as Mcauley Hall.<br></p>

Celtic and Nordic symbols are carved into the windows. 

 Vinland Estate is a Romanesque Revival "summer cottage" on the Cliff Walk. This Gilded Age house was completed in 1884 by the architecture firm Peabody & Stearns for wealthy tobacco heiress Catharine Lorillard Wolfe.

<p>   Ochre Court was designed by Richard Morris Hunt. Construction of the summer home lasted from 1888-1891 and was commissioned by Ogden Goelet, a wealthy New York banker and developer as well as an avid yachtsmen. Ochre Court is the second largest mansion in Newport at approximately sixty-thousand square feet. Architect Richard Morris Hunt designed the French chateau mansion after the chateaux of the Loire Valley in France with its high roofs and intricate dormers. James Sinclair and Company used Blue Indian Limestone to complete all the exterior stonework of Ochre Court. The first floor consisted of a Rococo-style ballroom, conservatory, library, drawing room and dining room. The floor plan of the mansion is centered around the great hall which extends to the third floor, and with massive glass windows overlooking the Atlantic. The hall features limestone carvings and gilded woodwork carved by a New York firm Ellin, Kitson, and Company. At the time of its completion Ochre Court was the largest of the Newport mansions, although this title was short lived as Cornelius Vanderbilt II’s The Breakers was constructed shortly after. Even though Newport streets had been electrified since 1882, Ochre Court was the first fully electrified mansion utilizing its own generator.  To lite the grounds it would take 1,200 lamps where Newport had about 200 lamps in the whole city. </p><p>	Ochre Court had a short life under the ownership of the Goelet family; in 1897, while sailing on his yacht <em>Mayflower, </em>Ogden suffered a fatal stroke. Ogden's widow Mary Wilson Goelet continued to summer in the house and at her death it passed to her son Robert. In 1947, Ogden’s son Robert donated the mansion to the Sisters of Mercy. The Sisters of Mercy were trying to start a Catholic college for women of any religion. Robert donated Ochre Court for them to start Salve Regina because he wanted the house to be beneficial to Rhode Island and especially to Newport. He had previously offered the house as a potential site in Newport's bid to be the host to the United Nations after World War II.</p><p>   Salve Regina would be the first Catholic women’s college in the state as well as the first civilian college in Newport, since the Naval War College was the only one in Newport. Ochre Court made up the whole college at the start of Salve Regina University. The original 58 students lived on the third floor, attended classes on the second, studied and dined on the first, and snacked and purchased books in the basement. The eight Sisters of Mercy who made up the faculty established their own living area in the servants' quarters. Today Salve Regina uses Ochre Court to house their administrative offices and to have admission talks with prospective students. Also, functions for the students are held there throughout the school year.</p>

<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Located in Newport, Rhode Island, this estate was built in 1884 by architects Dudley Newton and Charles Kempe. This Gothic Revival style building, also called “The Van Alen Mansion”, was built for James J. Van Alen, whose father, James H. Van Alen, was a Civil War General. Their family’s fortune came from railroads and interests in banking. Because of this fortune, James H. had a large estate called “The Grange” which was originally located behind the Wakehurst building and also where James J. lived with his father.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; In 1875 he married Emily Astor who passed away after only 8 years of marriage. This caused James J. to grieve deeply, and it likely influenced him&nbsp;to build a new estate just for him to take his mind off of Emily's death. His father purchased land adjacent to his estate and hired Dudley Newton and Charles Kempe&nbsp;to design and build the Gothic Revival styled home. James J. wanted to replicate Wakehurst Place, an Elizabethan mansion located in Sussex, England. Not only did he want to replicate the exterior and interior architecture and design, he was also intrigued by the mansion's famous Kew Gardens. He had a sunken garden constructed in the west wing of the yard to protect his flowers from the harsh ocean winds. The estate also featured 6 other gardens, 11 greenhouses, and imported trees from several different countries. It took approximately six years to fully complete the building of Wakehurst including the iron gates at the front of the house and the stone walls that surrounded it. The cost to build this estate was estimated to be around $750,000, which today would be the equivalent of $13,000,000.</p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Van Alen&nbsp;hired Charles Kempe who specialized in Victorian stained glass windows. The two had already met once before in England when James J. was visiting Wakehurst Place in Sussex. Kempe designed over 4,000 windows including ones for altars, churches, and cathedrals in his home country of England. His work spread throughout the country and eventually the world, which then caused much influence and inspired several other styles to emerge from his infamous designs. The figures usually seen in his designs are saints and even angels, which can be seen in the stained glass windows of Wakehurst today.</p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Unique designs covered the ceilings of all 3 levels of the mansion which was done by Dudley Newton, a local architect from Newport. The interior of Wakehurst was also filled with unique imported items from Europe, including furniture, such as antique English chairs from the 17th century, and rare beds painted and gilded from George Hepplewhite, an English furniture maker from the 18th century. The dining room interior was also imported from Belgium, and there were Dutch paintings hanging on the walls of the two 64 foot Halls located on both the first and second floor. The front Hall, located on the first floor, featured rare and valuable china, Oriental rungs, tapestries, and Chinese porcelain. At the foot of the staircase were Tudor banquet tables and cabinets. The Hall on the second floor included Queen Anne chairs, cabinets, chests, trunks, and hanging candle lamps. Fireplaces located throughout the mansion were also imported from Europe. Van Alen wanted everything imported from England, and most of what could not be imported was replicated.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; James J. Van Alen passed away in 1923 leaving the mansion to his son James L. Van Alen and his wife Margaret Louise "Daisy" Van Alen Bruguiere. The couple used it as a summer home while their main estate was located in New York City. After James L. had passed, Maragret was left with the mansion which she then decide to live in all year round, selling their house in New York. Margaret eventually passes away in 1969, but up until then she had continued to live in the mansion and employ staff of up to 23 people in order to maintain the estate. This included maids, housekeepers, and even gardeners. After several auctions and millions of dollars of Van Alen belongings were sold, Salve Regina University had bought the building for about $200,000.&nbsp; Wakehurst is currently in use as an student center at Salve Regina University.&nbsp;</p>

Built in 1884 by Dudley Newton and Charles Kempe, Wakehurst, or what used to be the Van Alen Mansion, is a Gothic Revival style building located in Newport, Rhode Island. It is almost an exact replica of Wakehurst Place in England with similar architecture and gardens. The building contains beautiful stained glass windows and chandeliers. It was requested to be built by James J. Van Alen to distract him of his grief after the death of his wife. The former mansion is now owned by Salve Regina University and used as a center for students.

<p>Wetmore Stables were constructed as part of the Chateau-sur-Mer estate in 1853 by architect Seth Bradford. The estate and the stables were built for the aristocratic Wetmore family, who were merchants by trade. The Italianate-style mansion, abutting Bellevue Avenue, is one of the pinnacle mansions of the Gilded Age era in Newport. The stables were constructed farther from Bellevue, sitting on the corners of Leroy and Lawrence avenues. Mercy Hall, an 1889 Queen Anne carriage-style house, which today constitutes the northern section of Antone Academic Center, served as the carriage house for the Wetmore family. Mercy Hall was constructed by Richard Morris Hunt, who expanded Chateau-sur-Mer in the 1870s and assisted George Champlin Mason in the additions to the Wetmore Stables. The Wetmores commissioned extensive additions, including the additional 84 linear feet and 14 stalls that Hunt and Mason added to the stables. Additions would be made for the next thirty years, including the distinctive yellow and red brick stall linings and the Belgian block floor design that still exists today. A series of fixtures windmill once stood at the top of the stables to prevent hayloft fires and a roof drainage system which channeled water directly into the horse troughs, have since been removed or redirected.</p><p>	Ochre Court, like Chateau-sur-Mer, is another one of the paramount structures of Newport’s Gilded Age, standing as the second largest, next to the Breakers. Built in 1892 as a summer home for New York banker Ogden Goelet, Ochre Court’s extravagant architectural structure and details are well-known today throughout the city. Ochre Court stables were constructed near Wetmore stables at the intersection of Leroy and Lawrence avenues.</p><p>	Wetmore Stables were purchased by Salve Regina University (then known as Salve Regina College) in the 1960s, whereas the Ochre Point Stables were gifted to the institution in 1947. The university originally utilized the buildings as facilities management and athletics storage. The overall integrity of the buildings took a hit when additions were made, including HVAC ducts, wallboard partitions, dropped ceilings, and an asphalt coating on top of the slate roof.</p><p>	In 2010, the facilities and athletics departments moved out of the buildings, and architectural firm Mesick Cohen Baker Wilson and contractors Farrar &amp; Associates were called in to help restore the buildings in addition to connecting them to create one structure, which was partly funded by a $202,000 Getty Grant. The renovations included the following: the reconstruction of chimneys, repair of Minton tiles and gabled dormers (in addition to adding three more near the graphic arts studio), repointing of masonry walls and Belgian blocks, leveling of the stalls’ brick floors, exposition of joists, replacement and restoration of original wooden windows, zinc flashing edging added along the roofline, addition of copper gutters, replication of original cornices and cupolas, patching and re-varnishing of the beaded board, and, finally, the replacement of the roof with a unique purple slate.&nbsp;</p><p>	Today, the structures of Wetmore and Ochre Court stables comprise the Antone Academic Center at Salve Regina University. The center is the home of the Cultural and Historic Preservation department, in addition to the art, music, theatre, and dance programs. Although a significant amount of reconstruction and restoration has been done to the historic buildings, the overall originality of the structures remains very much alive. When walking into Antone, one truly feels as though they are in an effectively preserved historic structure — that is, when walking into Antone Academic Center, so much of the originality of the structure still remains that its original purpose is both obvious and well-preserved. In the Cultural and Historic Preservation lab, the Belgian blocks still constitute the floor, the red and yellow bricks still line the walls, and the wide stable-like doorframe, although replicated, remains. The stables, although having been reconstructed, replicated, reconstituted, and renovated, can still be recognized as stables, and while the legacy of the Wetmores and Goelets may not be recognized frequently by Salve students or residents of Newport, familiarity and appreciation of Antone resound throughout campus.&nbsp;</p>

Wetmore and Ochre Court Stables, today known as Antone Academic Center on the campus of Salve Regina University, were constructed in the mid-nineteenth century by Seth Bradford and Richard Morris Hunt, respectively. The two stables, purchased by the university in the 1960s, originally served at the stables and carriage house for the famous mansions Chateau-sur-Mer (Wetmore) and Ochre Court (Ochre). The architectural style of the building encompasses a variety of different elements, including a mansard roof, gable dormers, Belgian block, and Herringbone brick floor patterns, and cast iron embellishments. The restored buildings, now connected to one another, still retain many of the qualities of the original stables, including wide arched doorways and the brick design in the flooring that allowed for drainage. The stables were renovated by Salve Regina University in 2010, after having served as athletics storage for several years. The buildings were connected to create Antone Academic Center, named after Sister Mary Therese Antone, the previous president of the university.

Located right next to the Breakers, the&nbsp;Julia B Eldridge estate&nbsp;and carriage house&nbsp;was completed by architect Dudley Newton in 1883. Newton was a local of Newport who&nbsp;was famous for his stain glass windows,&nbsp;included balconies and various wood furnishings into his work which are shown&nbsp;on&nbsp;the house.&nbsp;Dudley Newton was responsible for one hundred of these structures in Newport alone. He commenced&nbsp;his office in 1866,&nbsp;and invented the "Newton roof" which&nbsp;sealed off gutters&nbsp;with a&nbsp;putty&nbsp;substance.&nbsp;Dying in 1907, he remained a&nbsp;prominent&nbsp;architect&nbsp;of the 19th&nbsp;century.<span>&nbsp;<br><br></span>The Styles embedded in this 19th&nbsp;century home included characteristics from colonial revival and Queen Anne styles. &nbsp;Along&nbsp;with its alcoves, balconies, and&nbsp;verandas, the house's wooden shingles characterized the house as a "beach villa." &nbsp;Materials&nbsp;like bluestone and granite were used on the lower stories of the house. &nbsp;This house's exterior was known as one of Newton's best&nbsp;pieces&nbsp;of work. <br><br>Anita&nbsp;O'Keeffe Young (Sister&nbsp;of&nbsp;Georgia O'Keeffe) gave this estate to Salve Regina University&nbsp;after her death&nbsp;in 1966. The home is still&nbsp;currently in use&nbsp;as the multicultural house,&nbsp;living learning community for&nbsp;students who express and promote&nbsp;diversity among campus.&nbsp;

Although this old home is now referenced as "Ochre Lodge" it was originally called the Julia B. Eldridge house. This cottage and a carriage house were built for Mrs. Eldridge in 1882. She was a widow to Thomas P. Eldridge, a dry-goods merchant from New York who passed at age 45. Ochre lodge is one of the several historic estates that have become a part of Salve Regina University's expanding campus.

<p>Wallace Hall is a Tudor Revival cottage that was
built in 1875. Wallace hall was formerly the carriage house, stables and later,
the gardeners cottage, for the Fairholme estate. Architect Frank Furness
designed both the Fairholme estate and the carriage house and stables.</p>

<p>&nbsp;The Fairholme carriage house and stables was
made in a style that mimicked the architectural characteristics of Tudor
England (the early sixteenth century). One of the distinguishing features of the
carriage house and stables is the massive arched entryway for horse-drawn rigs.
Some other distinguishing features are stick-style wooden beams, and
cream-colored stucco surfaces. The steeply pitched roof and the tall windows
are very common features of a Tudor style cottage. Like many Tudor style
buildings, Wallace Hall has brick wall cladding, which is contrasted with the
cream-colored stucco surfaces.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Frank Furness was born in 1839 in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. While he studying at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts
is Paris, the only course that interested him was one on architecture. Although
it was always his family’s intention that he study at Harvard, Furness began
training in the office of a local architect, John Fraser in the 1850s instead.
While he was an apprentice under Fraser, Furness became friends with and
eventually worked under another architect, Richard Morris Hunt. &nbsp;Hunt is known as the&nbsp;designer of many of the Gilded Age houses in Newport, Rhode Island including the
Marble House, the Breakers, and Ochre Court. Furness remained an apprentice of Fraser for three years. He met
another young architect, George Watson Hewitt and eventually they formed a
partnership that became Furness &amp; Hewitt. Furness diverged from the
mainstream Victorian architecture of his time and designed buildings that
embraced more Gothic, Classical and diverse features. Over his 45 years of
working as an architect, Furness designed over 600 buildings.</p>

<p>Fairholme Estate was built for Fairman Rogers who was
an American civil engineer, educator, and philanthropist. He was born in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania
where he taught civil engineering from 1855 to 1871. He served in the Union
Cavalry during the Civil War, and fought in the Battles of Antietam and
Gettysburg. He became the chairman of the Building Committee for the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and ran the 1871 design competition for
the museum and art school’s new building. The firm of Furness &amp; Hewitt won
the competition. Fairman Rogers’s sister was married to Horace Howard Furness,
brother of the winning architect Frank Furness. He hired Furness to design
Fairholme Estate, which served as his summer cottage. </p>

<p>&nbsp;Fairholme is one
of the many Newport cottages built during the Gilded Age. It is located on 4.3 acres
of land near the eastern end of Ruggles Avenue. The carriage house and stables
are also located on Ruggles Avenue.&nbsp;Fairholme Estate was remodeled in 1905 by
John R. Drexel and was sold before 1955 to Robert A. Young. The Fairholme Carriage House went through many owners before being acquired by Salve Regina University.&nbsp;By 1890, it belonged to Catherine Kernochan Pell, in 1922 to Edson Bradley, and in 1930 to Julie F. Shipman. Julie Shipman Fremont sold the property to Anita O'Keeffe Young in 1943. In 1985, the property went to Edwin L. Cox, and was sold to&nbsp;Salve Regina University in 1991.&nbsp;</p><p>At first the carriage house was used as support for the university's grounds and maintenance programs. In 1998, it was proposed that it be converted into a residence hall.&nbsp;The University named the former
carriage house Wallace Hall after University friends and benefactors, David and
Jean Wallace. The Wallace's made a significant impact on the development of the University's campus through their support and counsel. After a dedication ceremony in April 2000, the Fairholme Carriage House and Stables became Wallace Hall. The carriage house is still being used as a residence hall for Salve Regina University.&nbsp;</p>

Wallace Hall is currently owned by Salve Regina University and is used as a residence hall. It was built in 1875 and used as the carriage house and stables for a Guilded Age mansion, Fairholme Estate. Fairholme Estate was built for Fairman Rogers and was designed by architect Frank Furness. The carriage house and stables were acquired by Salve Regina University in 1991.

<span><p>Fairlawn mansion that is located on the famous Bellevue in Newport, Rhode Island has an intricate history beginning in the 1850s. It was one of the first out of eleven mansions to be constructed on Bellevue Avenue. This impressive estate was commissioned by Andrew Ritchie, a Boston attorney. Throughout the years, the mansion endured several different owners. It is currently owned by Salve Regina University who named the estate to honor benefactor Robert. R. Young in 1997. The basement and second through third floors are used as a dormitory for the university’s undergraduate students. However, the first floor of the building is referred to as the Pell Center in honor of Senator Pell. The Center focuses on research for international relations and public policy.</p><p>	The estate has endured many changes in its architecture. Fairlawn architectural evolution over the years demonstrates the trends in which prominent members of Gilded Age society kept up with. Fairlawn was constructed in 1852 by architect Seth Bradford. The original design of the estate reflects the Elizabethan influence. However, in 1869 the estate was acquired by United States vice president Levi. P Morton, who hired Richard Morris Hunt to add a ballroom onto the house for when President Benjamin Harris visited. This expansion transformed the building to a more&nbsp;English Tudor style house, which stuck out among the more popular Italianate influenced estates in Newport. </p><p>Later, the property was bought by Townsend Burden who was a key player in New York politics, but made his fortune in the iron industry. It is said that his wife introduced the Gilded Age court jester, Harry Lehr, to the Newport party scene. It has also been said that Eleanor Roosevelt hosted her Debutante ball at Fairlawn. Under Burden, the estate evolved into a shining example of Queen-Anne style architecture. Two prominent architectural firms,&nbsp;McKim, Mead, and White and Peabody and Stearns, designed Fairlawn's evolution. The building&nbsp;has many classic features such as multiple stories, medium pitched roofs, a formal entrance hall, towers, and wrap-around porch. The windows demonstrate the elegance and intricacy of the Queen-Anne’s style. Fairlawn also features Tiffany Co. stained glass windows. This architectural style became popular in the mid- 1800s and became even more ornate as the century went on. However, such style started to lose its influence after 1900 as other styles emerged, such as the bungalow, American Foursquare, and other modern styles. </p><p>	The Fairlawn estate fits perfectly into the Gilded Age aesthetic of Newport. Like many other of the picturesque mansions that adorn the northeastern coast. Fairlawn history sets it apart from the rest of the Newport estates because of its architectural evolution which is significant when tracing American architectural trends.The estate provides a history that reflects the modern evolution of culture from Gilded age to present day. </p><div><br></div></span>
