Charming town,
Newport is a city on
Aquidneck Island about 30 miles south of
Providence. Known as a New England summer resort and for the famous
Newport Mansions, it is the home of various U.S. Navy facilities. A major 18th century port city, Newport now contains
among the highest number of surviving colonial buildings of any city in
the United States. We visited the old Vanderbilt mansion, actually a giant summer "cottage" for the Vanderbilts and their servants. Back yard photos shown.
Note also the crazy house summer cottage built by a couple who couldn't agree on the architecture, so they each took control of the design of separate parts of it.
