| Standing on land formerly owned by Governor William
Beach Lawrence, this eclectic Queen Anne Revival style
residence was originally built for Madame A.C. Acosta
of Maryland. It informally combines 17th and 18th century
design details such as classical columns and shingled
surfaces. Casual and picturesque, Queen Anne Revival
style homes were planned specifically for wooded areas
and seashore settings. Later, the estate was renamed
Four Acres. In 1950, Cornelius C. Moore, one-time Newport
mayor and longtime board chair, gave Moore Hall to Salve
Regina in memory of his parents. |
