Description
Ochre Court (16 Ochre Point Avenue) was built in 1888-1892 by architect Richard Morris Hunt for New York banker and real estate developer Ogden Goelet and his wife. The 50-room French Gothic-early Renaissance-style chateau overlooks the Cliff Walk and Atlantic Ocean. In 1947 the Goelets ' son , railroad , hotel , and real estate developer Robert Goelet IV , gave Ochre Court to the Religious Sisters of Mercy to establish Salve Regina College. Ochre Court , which housed the entire college during its first years , is still in use and remains the heart of the greatly expended Salve Regina University.
