Kingcote is one of the older Mansions that was slated to be knocked down and was rescued from the 1950-1960 (town decision?). Great woodwork and a lot of original artifacts. Grounds have a European Fernleaf Beech Tree thats very rare in US, by my experience. Doesnt seem prone to Beech tree diseases. Part of Newport Mansion Preservation and worth getting 2 person memebership that also allows a guest. No private tours for Kingscote typically (rare).

Underated Newport mansion. Beautiful restoration with loads of original period pieces. Written description of each room guides you through. Although not as opulent as The Breakers or other Newport mansions, it is really worth the stop to get transported back in time.

Great mansions to visit prior to the Breakers. Very nicely preserved Gothic style home with amazing wood details. Tickers are not sold on site so you can either purchase ahead of time or online with your phone.

My favorite of the Newport mansions! It is one of the oldest mansions so not as ostentatious as the others (at least the ones that were open this season). This over actually looks like a house someone could live in and does not feel like a mausoleum like some of the later/larger mansions. Definitely built during the Victorian/Gothic Revival period, it has beautiful architecture and so many original pieces in the house. The docents are super informative and knowledgeable. There is no audio tour for this house. Parking is on-site; however, Google maps will take you to the wrong street for entering! The actual entrance is not on Bellevue but a...

What a lovely old home. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Kathy. She did a great job highlighting the many interesting details of this stately residence. While not one of the great stone mansions Newport is so well known for, it is still an intriguing glimpse into the life of a Guilded Age family. The guided tours are quite nice in these smaller homes and the guides are very knowledgeable. ...
