Description	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. The Goelets' son and sole heir, Robert Walton 'Bertie' Goelet, and his wife, Frenchwoman Anne-Marie, owned Southside at the time this photograph was taken. Unlike most of the Newport mansions, ownership of Southside has remained (as of 2012) in the Goelet family. Source: Paul Berry, Newport architectural history enthusiast.
