Francis
Malbone House
Newport, RI
 The
Francis Malbone House is the epitome of elegance,
located in the heart of Newport's Historic Harborfront.
The estate was built in 1760 for Colonel Francis
Malbone who made his fortune as a shipping merchant.
The design of the house is attributed to Peter
Harrison, "America's First Architect",
who is also responsible for the Touro Synagogue
and the Redwood Library.
The Francis Malbone House has been lovingly
maintained throughout the years, as evidenced
by the painstaking restoration undertaken during
the early 1970's. In 1996, a sensitively designed
addition was added, allowing the inn to expand
from nine to a total of eighteen luxurious guestrooms.
In 2000, our most recent expansion was completed
when we purchased and restored the Benjamin
Mason House, a free standing colonial home,
c. 1750. The Benjamin Mason House features a
suite and a guestroom bringing our total number
of rooms to twenty.
Treat yourself to a bit of colonial history
by joining us, and we are confident that your
first visit will be the first of many.
