There was a distinct uniform worn amongst the Newport preppy bunch and I came equipped. I wore these pieces out!!

I have found the world's best hamburger and GQ Magazine agrees (it's their #3, it's my #1). The "GQ" Burger at The Spiced Pear is meat perfected...
hand pulled kobe beef brisket mixed with ½ pound fresh ground kobe beef, caramelized red onion tomato jam, vermont white cheddar cheese, topped with crisp coleslaw..................................................
I want to live here!! This understated (by Newport standards) home completely intrigued me. We were verging on trespassing as we snapped these photos, and I never got a full shot of the main house, but the front wall and carriage house were enough to make me giddy...
So long Newport, it was great seeing you.

That intriguing house you stopped by is actually the Beacon Rock Carriage House. While today a private home, it was originally designed as part of the McKim Meade and White estate, Beacon Rock, next door.
ReplyDeleteBut you were not alone in being captivated by the carriage house. In fact, it's so striking by itself, it actually served as the former studio of internationally known sculptor Felix de Weldon, who created the Iwo Jima Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
Talk about inspiration!
Tom, that is beyond cool thank you so much for sharing! Now I love the house even more!!
