  • Seaweed (1860-61), Kyle Kresge wrote 9 years ago:
    I used to visit and stay at the seaweed house years ago, when I dated Annie Berl. Her grandmother was a wonderful woman. She had more life at her old age then most people I meet. I now live in Spain. I haven't spoken to Annie in many years. Since I'm living on the cost of Spain, I was talking about the seaweed house and looked it up to show my friends.

    Stoneleigh couldn't have been built by the Thornes in 1862. According to the 1876 Map of Newport, the house belonged to the estate of Benjamin Dwight Greene, Sr. It did not show up as Thorn property until the Newport Map of 1883.

    Incredible that 100 years late it burnt down again. Anyone know the actual date in 1916? Be weird if it was the same date.

  • The Van Zandt House (1846), Marian Desrosiers (guest) wrote 9 years ago:
    The proper spelling of Banister is with one "n," as that is how he and every member of his family spelled it from 1735 when he first moved from Boston to Newport to become a merchant there and up to 1831, when his grandson John Banister III died. A clerk doubled the "n" at some point.
  • Stonor Lodge (1870-1880), Arthur Menaldi (guest) wrote 9 years ago:

  • Gravelly Point, tom perrotti (guest) wrote 9 years ago:
    Has anyone ever written an extensive history of the trial and the hanging ? Wasn't Newport a pirate and party town, which is why the pirates hung out here? They were the bling before the Bellevue Bling. So many names. Who were they and what were their stories. Pirates hanging pirates? The rogue history of the island, and the entire colony, was still blossoming in 1723. The Newport economy was built on privateering one day and pirating the next. What would a comprehensive history of this hanging day reveal?

    Roslyn, I'm researching Miramar. Have you ever heard anyone comment on a skylight over the main staircase? There is some question about if it was ever installed.
