Property Information |
| Property Noted For |
| The lower story is clapboard and painted a bronze green; the second story is shingled and stained; the gables are filled in with cement and glass and the roof is painted red. There are bay windows, piazzas and balconies. Few people would believe that only two or three weeks ago was such an extensive attraction commenced, and where now stands complete with its vine covered piazza one of the prettiest cottages in Newport. These alterations and improvements were designed and executed by Mr. J.D. Johnston, the architect and builder and adds one more to the many pretty cottages he has erected here. |

| Property Description |
| The hall is finished in old oak and measures 20 x 33 feet. It is finished up to the peak of the roof and is about 33 feet from floor to ceiling, the walls are paneled and there is no plaster in any part of the hall. The heavy beams of the roof are exposed and produce a fine effect from the floor below. The stair case is an elegant piece of work and is seen in every detail from the lower hall. Galleries run along the second and third story halls, supported on carved and fluted columns, and many bits of artistic wood work seem to be placed so as to produce the finest effect. |

| Most of our readers remember the old looking farm house that no more than twelve weeks ago stood on the estate of Dr. Leroy Satterlee on Clay Street. A few years ago his estate was bought by Gen. Van Alen, and much money expended upon it without producing very good results. The house was remodeled somewhat, several extensions added and a complete system of sewage put in. Mr. Van Alen sold the estate to Dr. Satterlee in 1884. |
