Set on the picturesque and treasured Narragansett Bay with almost 5 acres of gorgeous coastal gardens, rolling lawn, original colonial stone walls and many of the largest and most spectacular specimen trees in the state including copper and fern-leaf beeches, tulip and the largest holly tree east of the Mississippi. Built in 1690 for Capt. Thomas Paine, a wealthy "mariner, soldier and patriot" who commanded a fleet of ships and successfully defended Newport from French privateers.
