Description |
Seaview Terrace (Marine Avenue), completed in 1925, was built for liquor baron Edson Bradley, Jr. and his wife. The French Renaissance-style chateau had its origins in Washington, D.C., where it was known as Aladdin's Palace. In 1907 Mr. Bradley purchased the Hubbard house on Dupont Circle and hired architect Howard Greenly to remodel the Victorian-style structure, built in the mid-1870s, transforming it into a French chateau. In 1922 Mr. Bradley bought Seaview from James Frederick Kernochan. Mr. Bradley began dismantling the D.C. house in 1923 and had many of its structural elements transported to the Newport estate, incorporating them along with portions of Seaview into an expansive French Renaissance-Gothic chateau designed by Mr. Greenly and known as Seaview Terrace. The estate's next owner was the Bradleys' daughter, Julie Fay Bradley Shipman. Mrs. Shipman auctioned the house and its contents in 1941 and allowed the City of Newport to take the property for delinquent taxes. Seaview Terrace was left vacant and neglected between 1942 and 1949; it was purchased in 1949 by Edward J. Dunn, who then transferred the title to Mrs. George Waldo Emerson, Sr. During Mrs. Emerson's tenure the estate was leased to various private schools and was the home of Burnham-by-the-Sea, the summer boarding school affiliated with the Mary Burnham School for Girls in Northhampton, Massachussetts. Between 1966 and 1971 Seaview Terrace was used for exterior shots of Collinwood Mansion in the Gothic soap opera 'Dark Shadows'. The current (2012) owners, Martin and Millicent Carey of New York, bought the property in 1974.
