| 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. |
