the Kings. Accommodations at our B&B have been lovingly restored to recapture the
grand look and feel of the Victorian period in Newport.

The Artful Lodger Inn is located along historic Spring Street in beautiful Newport Rhode Island. Spring Street originated at the spring which powered the mill that supported much of the town's commerce in colonial days. It runs parallel to the harbor street called "Thames" pronounced by the locals exactly the way it is spelled.

Walk To The Cliff Walk:
Our bed and breakfast is a short walk to the world-famous Cliff Walk which combines the
natural beauty of the Newport coastline with the architectural history of the Gilded Age.
The 3.5 mile picturesque walk begins at Easton Beach and winds its way past The Breakers
mansion and Marble House's Chinese Tea House as well as many other glorious examples of
Newport's storied past.
Across From
The Elms Mansion
Diagonally across from the Artful Lodger Inn is "The Elms" mansion, the grounds
of which extend from Spring St. to the Bellevue Ave. of gilded age fame. This famous
mansion was modeled after the Chateau of Asnieres near Paris by architect, Horace
Trumbauer, in 1901, for Edward J. Berwind. Berwind was the wealthy mining magnate, one of
the nouveau riche, determined to be noticed by "the 400" for his extravagances,
and the bold architectural features and sunken gardens of his"summer cottage."
The Elms has grand art, uniquely displayed, and its exquisite furniture designs are the
most reproduced of any of Newport's mansions. Another extraordinary feature of The Elms is
the coal tunnel running under Dixon St. to the harbor. It was used to discreetly transport
coal to the first mansion to use electricity. "
Walk To Other Famous Newport RI Mansions
Other gilded age mansions are also located within a short walk of The Artful Lodger.
Newport houses are famous for representing more architectural styles than any other
American city (a local lecturer on the subject has identified fifty four) so even a
leisurely stroll can yield a wealth of beauty and knowledge to the discerning observer.
There are historic landmarks throughout Newport too numerous to mention here, so only a
sample of those in the immediate vicinity are mentioned. Information on other landmarks
would be available upon request.
Historic St. Mary's Church
St. Mary's church is located on the corner of Spring Street and Memorial Boulevard. This
Gothic edifice, founded April 8, 1828, is one of the finest examples of this style in New
England. It was the church chosen for the Kennedy-Bouvier marriage on Sept. 12, 1953. St.
Mary's was designated a National Historic Shrine by the United Stated Dept. of the
Interior on Nov. 24, 1968.
