Ochre Lodge (Newport, Rhode Island)

 house, school

c.1885. Queen Anne-cum-Shingle styles; two- and-one-half stories with shingle wall cover beneath cross- gabled gambrel roof; varied window treatment; sitting- porches, and entrance within recessed south porch.

Newport's premiere local architect, Dudley Newton, built this seaside villa for Julia Eldridge of New York. Using an imaginative combination of materials and textures typical of Queen Anne Revival styles, with certain aspects affiliated with Colonial Revival, this summer residence mixes granite and bluestone on the first story and rustic wood shingles on the second. The structure features balconies, alcoves and verandas in a variety of beautiful woods and finishes. Newton drew inspiration from the Casino building (Tennis Hall of Fame) in Newport. Ochre Lodge was a gift to Salve Regina in 1966 by Anita O'Keeffe Young, sister of American painter Georgia O'Keeffe.
