Castle Hill Light

Castle Hill Lighthouse is located on Narragansett Bay in Newport, Rhode Island, at the end of the historic Ocean Drive. It is an active navigation aid for vessels entering the East Passage, between Conanicut Island and Aquidneck Island. The lighthouse has become a symbol of Newport, and a frequent site for wedding photos, proposals, and tourist photos. Although the property is owned by the nearby Castle Hill Inn, the lighthouse is owned by the United States Coast Guard. History Henry Hobson Richardson drew a sketch for a lighthouse at this location which may or may not have been the basis for the actual design. The structure does not include the residence which was featured in Richardson's sketch. The keeper's house was built, and still stands, near Castle Hill Cove, a few hundred feet away. The lighthouse was completed in 1890 on property formerly belonging to the naturalist, oceanographer, and zoologist Alexander Agassiz of Harvard University. Agassiz sold the land to the United States Government for the lighthouse for $1. His mansion on the property, commissioned in 1874, is now an inn. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 as Castle Hill Lighthouse. Although the lighthouse building is not open to the public, the shoreline and cliff face where the lighthouse sits are accessible by several footpaths from the Castle Hill Inn and the Castle Hill Cove Marina. The lighthouse is a popular site for tourist photos and wedding shoots, and widely recognizable as a symbol of Newport. While the property is owned by the nearby Castle Hill Inn, the lighthouse itself is owned by the United States Coast Guard. 2021 repainting By 2020, the iconic lighthouse had become streaked with unsightly brown rust, and the Coast Guard indicated that it had no plans to perform any exterior maintenance. In March 2021, the Castle Hill Inn signed a five-year agreement with the Coast Guard to refresh the lighthouse's exterior appearance. A local contractor was hired to perform a full power wash, paint, and beautification at a cost of $17,000, just in time for the 2021 summer wedding season. List of keepers Frank W. Parmele (1890 – 1911) George L. Hoxsie (1911 – at least 1944) Manuel Soares Macedo (at least 1945). Ernest H. Stacey (Coast Guard BM1, May 22, 1947 – September 30, 1948) After the 1938 hurricane, operation of the lighthouse was taken over by Coast Guard personnel. In 1957, the light was automated.

Маяк Касл-Хилл

Маяк Касл-Хилл (англ. Castle Hill Light) — маяк, расположенный в историческом округе Оушен Драйв на западе острова Род-Айленд в заливе Наррагансетт, округ Ньюпорт, штат Род-Айленд, США. Построен в 1890 году. Автоматизирован в 1957 году. История Города Провиденс и Ньюпорт, одни из первых английских поселений в Северной Америке, были крупными центрами промышленности и торговли в XVIII—XIX веках. Для обеспечения навигации до них через залив Наррагансетт, в котором находится множество больших и малых островов, было построено несколько маяков. В 1875 году Конгресс США выделил 10 000$ на строительство противотуманного сигнала на восточном конце острова Род-Айленд, однако собственники земли отказались её продавать, так как полагали, что шум от сигнала уменьшит её стоимость. В конце 1880-х годов было принято решение построить в этом месте полноценный маяк и жилище смотрителя, и собственник земли, которым оказался известный океанограф и морской зоолог Александр Агассис, согласился продать её за 1$. Строительство маяка было завершено в 1890 году. Он представлял собой расположенную на утёсе коническую башню из гранитных блоков высотой 10 метров, на вершине которой была установлена линза Френеля. Кирпичный дом смотрителя был построен в 400 метрах от маяка. В 1957 году Береговая охрана США автоматизировала маяк. В 1988 году он был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Примечания

Chepstow (mansion)

Chepstow is an Italianate house located at 120 Narragansett Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, built in 1860. It originally served as a summer "cottage", but the Preservation Society of Newport County now operates the property as a house museum. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Ochre Point-Cliffs Historic District in 1975 and within the Historic District of the City of Newport. History Edmund Schermerhorn hired George Champlin Mason Sr. to build the house in 1860 as a summer home. Schermerhorn was a first cousin of Mrs. Astor (formerly Caroline Webster Schermerhorn), one of Newport's most active hostesses. Schermerhorn used the property as his full-time residence for several years leading up to his death in 1891, leading some to describe him as a "recluse". Following his death, Schermerhorn's brother William Colford Schermerhorn became the property's owner. In 1911, it was sold to Rolaz Horace Gallatin a cousin of Albert Eugene Gallatin and nephew of Commodore Elbridge Thomas Gerry, and his wife, Emily Lorillard (née Morris) Gallatin.. Emily, a first cousin of Lewis Gouverneur Morris, named the property for Chepstow, the town in Wales from which the Morris family originated. Following Emily and Rolaz Horace Gallatin's deaths in 1944 and 1948, respectively, ownership of the property was divided equally between Emily's cousin, Lewis Gouverneur Morris, and his two daughters, Alletta Nathalie Lorillard MacDonald (née Morris, later McBean) and Frances Elizabeth "Betty" Perry (née Morris, previously Carhart, later Smith). Alletta purchased her father's and sister's shares to become the outright owner of the property in 1949. Upon her death in 1986, Alletta Morris McBean donated the property and its contents to the Preservation Society of Newport County, with the stipulation that her second husband, Peter McBean be permitted to use the house as he wished until his death. After Peter McBean's death in 1997, the Preservation Society began operating the property as a historic house museum. The house has been altered through additions, the most recent in 1979 with the addition of the garden room (also called the sun room) by architect John K. Grosvenor. Present day The property houses a dynamic collection of art and furniture, including some from other Morris family residences, such as the Lewis G. Morris House and Malbone Castle and Estate. Chepstow houses a collection of American paintings, mostly purchased by Alletta Morris McBean's mother, Nathalie Bailey Morris, featuring works by Fitz Hugh Lane, George Harvey, Albert Bierstadt, and Granville Perkins. Other collection pieces include a portrait of George Washington by Jane Stuart, daughter of Gilbert Stuart, a portrait of Peter Muhlenberg, and silhouettes by Eveline Adelheid von Maydell and Auguste Edouart. Nathalie Bailey Morris was also a collector of miniatures by Edward Greene Malbone and Ann Hall, some of which are on view in Chepstow. Among the house's furnishings is a walnut Queen Anne side chair reportedly owned by William Penn and a cabinet reportedly owned by Thomas Wolsey. References Notes Sources External links Official site

Clarke Street Meeting House

The Clarke Street Meeting House (also known as the Second Congregational Church Newport County, the Ezra Stiles Meeting House or Central Baptist Church) is a historic meeting house and Reformed Christian church building at 13–17 Clarke Street in Newport, Rhode Island, built in 1735. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History The meeting house was built in 1735 and served as a worship place for the Second Congregational Church, originally a Calvinist congregation. From 1755 to 1786, Ezra Stiles pastored the church and lived in the Ezra Stiles House across the street. He later became the president of Yale College. During the American Revolutionary War, British forces occupied the meeting house and the minister's house for use as a barracks and hospital from 1776 to 1779. After the war, a committee of Second Church members wrote to John Adams in Europe requesting that he contact Reformed congregations there for assistance in repairing the church due to the British army's damage to the building. Adams responded that he would be unable to help because of differences in European attitudes toward soliciting for funds. Regardless of the difficulties, the building was extensively repaired in 1785. The congregation later left the building and merged with Newport's First Congregational Church to become United Congregational Church to which the building was sold in 1835. In 1847, the Central Baptist Society purchased and extensively modified the building. The church's original steeple blew down in the 1938 hurricane. In 1950, St. Joseph's Church of Newport purchased the meeting house and further renovated the structure. The Clarke Street Meeting House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Around the 1980s, the structure was converted into condominiums.

Clemence–Irons House

The Clemence–Irons House (also known as the Edward Manton House) is a historic house located in Johnston, Rhode Island. It was built by Richard Clemence in 1691 and is a rare surviving example of a "stone ender", a building type first developed in the western part of England and common in colonial Rhode Island. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a historic house museum owned and operated by Historic New England. It is open Saturdays between June and mid-October. History Richard Clemence, a farmer, constructed the Clemence–Irons House in 1691. Passing through a series of owners in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, the house had grown to 13 rooms by 1938, when it was purchased by Henry Sharpe and his sisters, Ellen Sharpe and Louisa Sharpe Metcalf. Additions by this time included a one-story parlor with a separate fireplace at the north end, a second lean-to with kitchen, bath and stair hall and two bedrooms, a one-story ell at the southwest corner, and a front hall and porch at the southeast corner. Nonetheless, the Sharpe family valued the age and recognized the stone-ender characteristics of the house. It commissioned Norman Isham, who had directed restoration efforts at nearby Eleazer Arnold House in 1920, to investigate the structure and restore the house to its 17th-century appearance. Isham determined that the original house consisted of one-and-a-half stories with a rear lean-to and a steep gable roof. In the plan, he found evidence of four rooms on the first floor instead of the more typical one-room plan of other early stone-enders. Removing the later additions and baring the main block of non-original interior finishes, the house was rebuilt to reflect Isham's findings. The plan consists of a great room and chamber in the main block, with a kitchen and second smaller chamber in the rear lean-to. Using a combination of salvaged and new materials to recreate the original appearance of the house, Isham also commissioned furnishings made from old wood to complement the architectural reconstruction. Significant as one of the oldest houses in Rhode Island, the Clemence–Irons House also is important as a record of mid-20th-century restoration ideas and methods. The house was donated to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, now known as Historic New England, in 1947. In 2003 a dendrochronology survey of the tree rings determined a 1691 construction date. Together with the Eleazer Arnold House, the Clemence–Irons House provides a rare opportunity to study the stone-ender in New England.

Clifton Burying Ground

The Clifton Burying Ground is an early colonial cemetery located in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. It is a Quaker cemetery, and has the graves of four Rhode Island colonial governors. Description The Clifton Burying Ground is located in Newport, Rhode Island where Golden Hill Street bends and becomes Thomas Street. The cemetery is named for Thomas Clifton, who gave the land to the Society of Friends for a burial ground in 1675, though some who are presumably buried here died much earlier than that. The cemetery has 168 known interments, including four colonial Rhode Island governors: Jeremy Clarke, Walter Clarke, William Wanton and Joseph Wanton. There is an inscription in this cemetery for Governor John Wanton as well, but he has a marker in the Coddington Cemetery on Farewell Street, and that is where he is likely buried. Neither cemetery has a governor's grave medallion for him, while this cemetery has medallions for all four of the other governors. The person with the earliest death date buried here is Governor Jeremy Clarke, who died in January 1652, and who has a governor's medallion, but no tombstone. If he is actually buried here, then he was likely moved from another location. The latest interment was for Sarah Howland who died in 1856.

Clingstone

Clingstone is a house built in 1905, perched atop a small, rocky island in an island group called "The Dumplings" in Narragansett Bay, near Jamestown, Rhode Island. Architecture The dwelling, designed by Philadelphia socialite J. S. Lovering Wharton and artist William Trost Richards, is a three-story 23-room 10,000-square-foot shingle-style cottage. The structural system of heavy mill-type framing was designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. The name "Clingstone" was suggested by a remark that it was "a peach of a house". In August 2010 the interior was documented in a series of panoramic photographs. Film director Wes Anderson modeled the house from Moonrise Kingdom after Clingstone, specifically the interior shingles. Owners The original owner, a nephew of industrialist Joseph Wharton, built the house in response to the government condemning his earlier summer home in order to build Fort Wetherill. Wharton summered there until his death in 1931. Although little damaged by a hurricane in 1938, the residence was still vacant at the time of his wife's death in 1957 until it was purchased in 1961 by Boston architect Henry Wood. Wood, a distant cousin of the Philadelphia Whartons, was able to purchase the property for $3,600, the amount owed in back taxes. The house is known by locals as "The House on a Rock". References
Coddington Cemetery
