Southside (Narragansett Avenue and the corner of Ochre Point Avenue) , the rear of which is seen in this photograph , was built in 1882-1884 for New York real estate developer and financier Robert Goelet III and his wife . The large summer cottage located on the Cliff Walk overlooking the Atlantic Ocean was designed by the architectural firm McKim , Mead & White .
