Kingscote |
|
|
Built in 1839, Kingscote is the type of "summer cottage" lived in by wealthy visitors to Newport before the great stone mansions were built. |

First built for G N Jones of Georgia by Richard Upjohn, it was later acquired by a merchant in the China trade called William H King, who gave the house its name. A cottage it isn't, for no peasant lived here, but rather a man who appreciated Tiffany glass and a gorgeous dining room.
