Excerpt from A Guide to Newport: Rhode Island They built a cabin where Farewell Street now runs. This structure was destroyed by fire two years later; but other houses had already been erected by colonists who joined the Eastons, the town boundaries laid out, and Newport was firmly established. One of the new-comers was Benedict Arnold (no ancestor of Arnold the traitor). He became Governor of the colony, owned considerable land, including the hill where the Old Stone Mill stands, and is buried on this property, on the grounds of the Governor Van Zandt mansion on Pelham Street. Other prominent colonists were William Coddington and William Brenton, whose names are perpetuated by Codding ton's Cove and Brenton's Point. Coddington was a large land-owner, and as Governor was ambitious to set himself up as a little king of the island; but his neighbors so strongly objected that he was compelled to leave. Brenton also became Governor. He owned a large estate which he called Hammersmith Farm, after his native town in England. It is said that the first daisies in America were those brought from the old country by Brenton and planted on his farm. His residence, called The Chimneys, was the first of the great mansions of which Newport has so many. This house, in fact the entire town of Newport, was a refuge for the white settlers from the Indians who ravaged the mainland. That part of the Narragansett tribe which remained on the island was always friendly and helpful to the whites.

A revealing tour of the opulent Newport Mansions where the Astors, Vanderbilts, and other Gilded Age families spent their summers. At the turn of the twentieth century, the wealthy families of New York would vacation at their summer homes in Newport, Rhode Island. Where the salty air once mingled with the laughter of society women in ball gowns, the houses of the Newport Cliff Walk still preside in grandeur over the crashing waves below. From the grand majesty of the Breakers to the beautiful proportions of Rosecliff, these houses are enduring reminders of the architectural flowering of the Gilded Age. Walking along the paved trail, it's easy to imagine the faintest hint of a waltz coming from the windows of Beechwood, or to envision the Duchess of Windsor’s carriage arriving for a visit at Fairholme. Ed Morris takes you on a tour of twenty-four historic mansions and landmarks, entertaining along the way with tales of splendor and style, social maneuvering and matchmaking.
