Andrea
Hotel
Westerly, RI 02891
Many
people ask, "How old is the Andrea?"
This is a question we may never know the answer
to since there are no town records that exist.
We think that the building was probably built
between 1870 and 1902.
We do know that a local family purchased the
property in the early 1900's to operate a
bed and breakfast called the Andrea Tea Room.
During that time, the seaside communities
of Pleasant View, (now Misquamicut), Watch
Hill and Weekapaug flourished as tourists
from Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York
came to enjoy the lazy days of summer.
In 1938, the most powerful hurricane to hit
New England passed directly over Misquamicut.
All that remained of the 400 buildings along
the Misquamicut coastline were the battered
remnants of the Pleasant View Hotel, the Andrea
Tea Room, the Wigwam (now Paddy's), and the
Atlantic Beach Casino.
In 1946, the Andrea Tea Room was sold to Ralph
Colucci Sr. The Colucci family, now in their
third generation of management, has been welcoming
visitors to Misquamicut Beach for over 50
years. Long recognized as a local landmark,
visitors love the personal service and the
casual atmosphere that is offered at the Andrea
Hotel. |
