The house was built circa 1850 by one of Newport's prominent families, the Kings. The rooms have been lovingly restored to recapture the feel as well as the look of the Victorian period in Newport. Each of the rooms was decorated with a distinctive theme in mind. It won't take much imagination to whisk you back to that bygone era of opulence and gentility. The breakfast conservatory on the third floor has a breathtaking view of Newport Harbor, the Ida Lewis Yacht Club, and Fort Adams (location of music festivals). Guests can observe the status of festival parking before leaving the breakfast table. An extra cup of coffee may be possible!
