Description
Beech Bound (127 Harrison Avenue) was built in 1895 for iron magnate William Fletcher Burden and his wife by architectural firm Peabody & Stearns ; the landscape , which is integral to the estate , was designed by the firm Olmsted , Olmsted & Eliot. Mrs. Burden kept the Scottish Baronial-style home overlooking Newport Harbor until her death. In the 1920s , Beech Bound was purchased as a summer home by Henry Baldwin Hyde Ripley and his wife. The mansion (now styled Beechbound) was split into condominiums in the 1970s.
