Francis
Malbone House
Newport, RI
 The
Francis Malbone House is the epitome of elegance,
located in the heart of Newport's Historic
Harborfront.
The estate
was built in 1760 for Colonel Francis Malbone
who made his fortune as a shipping merchant.
The design of the house is attributed to Peter
Harrison, "America's First Architect",
who is also responsible for the Touro Synagogue
and the Redwood Library.
The Francis
Malbone House has been lovingly maintained
throughout the years, as evidenced by the
painstaking restoration undertaken during
the early 1970's. In 1996, a sensitively designed
addition was added, allowing the inn to expand
from nine to a total of eighteen luxurious
guestrooms. In 2000, our most recent expansion
was completed when we purchased and restored
the Benjamin Mason House, a free standing
colonial home, c. 1750. The Benjamin Mason
House features a suite and a guestroom bringing
our total number of rooms to twenty.
Treat yourself
to a bit of colonial history by joining us,
and we are confident that your first visit
will be the first of many. |
