Ivy Tower built for Mrs. C.H. Baldwin
(1887-1888)
Architect/Builder : J.D. Johnston
• Harriet Pond was one of eight New Yorkers building houses in 1887 during Newport’s cottage construction boom.
• The picturesque Queen Anne Revival Style was the height of fashion for Newport houses in the 1880s until the arrival of the classically-inspired formally planned great mansions of the 1890s, such as neighboring Rosecliff (1902).
• Hatch Preparatory School purchased Ivy Tower in 1959. The school owned six Newport houses in the late 1950s at a time when these buildings were viewed as tax burdens.
• Today the house is again a private residence. A new house was built on land to the north in 2007.
