'''Vinland Estate''' was built at Ochre Point, [[Newport, Rhode Island]], [[United States]], in 1882 for tobacco heiress [[Catharine Lorillard Wolfe]] by [[Peabody & Stearns]].  The [[Romanesque Revival]] style exterior consists of red sandstone with [[Aesthetic Movement]] style elements.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.peabodyandstearns.com/residences1.html |title=Peabody & Stearns {{!}} Schools |access-date=2006-09-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070225121008/http://www.peabodyandstearns.com/residences1.html |archive-date=2007-02-25 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  Interior elements include designs by [[William Morris]], windows by [[Burne-Jones]], and landscaping by [[Ernest Bowditch]].

==History==
Ms Wolfe is reported to have had the home built, inspired by [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]]'s poem "[[The Skeleton in Armor]]".  It is named after the first spot on which the old Norsemen are supposed to have landed on their historic voyage across the ocean.  It was built with theme of a Viking settlement and includes a [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] [[Dolium]] by the entrance.  The exterior features window casing carvings of fruit and vines.

In 1896, Vinland was sold to railroad tycoon [[Hamilton McKown Twombly]] and his wife [[Florence Adele Vanderbilt Twombly]].  The Twomblys enlarged the house considerably between 1907 and 1910.  The interior at this time was recreated by [[Ogden Codman]].  In 1955, Mrs. Twombly's daughter, Florence Burden, donated the estate to [[Salve Regina University]].<ref>{{Cite web |url= http://www.salve.edu/virtualtour/mcauley.aspx |title=Salve Regina University - McAuley Hall |access-date=2013-01-15 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121226162550/http://www.salve.edu/virtualtour/mcauley.aspx |archive-date= 2012-12-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
