Kingscote






Built in 1839 by Southern planter George Noble Jones, Kingscote is an example of the Gothic Revival style in American architecture.


The home is a composition of towers, windows, Gothic arches and porch roofs inspired by medieval tournament tents.


After the outbreak of the Civil War, the Jones family left Newport never to return, and the house was sold in 1864 to China Trade merchant William Henry King.


It is a rare example of a Gothic Revival house and landscape setting preserved intact with original family collections.


Kingscote is owned by the Preservation Society of Newport County and is a National Historic Landmark.
