Miley Hall (ca. 1963) and Walgreen Hall (2003), formerly Whiteholme (1861) (Newport, Rhode Island)

 university, house, school, dormitory

Built as the summer villa of Mary Frick Garrett (later Mrs. H. Barton Jacobs), the widow of Robert Garrett, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Whiteholme was the first residential commission of the celebrated architect John Russell Pope. The architect placed a new French Classical villa in front of and encasing the existing 1862 Stick Style William Riggins Travers, Sr. (1824-1887) House by Richard Morris Hunt, creating, in the process an unusual L-shaped stucco over brick structure. The urbane French interiors were sub-contracted to Allard & Sons, of Paris and New York, and the formal statuary-filled garden was noted for its compact geometry.

Whiteholme was sold in 1944 for $26,000 to its final private owners, the Phillips family of Newport. Acquired by Salve Regina College, this major estate was demolished in April of 1963 for the construction of a modern student residence and dining facility.

New Residence, now renamed (2013) and dedicated as Walgreen Hall (Nar. Ave side), completed in September 2003, the New Residence houses 150 students in a suite-style living arrangement. A wing of the bulding is dedicated to administrative office space for Residence Life, Campus Ministry and counseling.
