Description	Bateman's Hotel (Winans Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue) was built in 1755 for the Collins family of Newport. Seth Bateman acquired the estate during the 1840s; by 1860 he had made numerous additions to the house and begun operating a boarding house. The grounds were a popular gathering place for Newport's cottagers. Following Mr. Bateman's death in 1887 the proprietorship of Bateman's Hotel was assumed by W. Sidney Bateman, who operated the hotel until 1944. Edmund W. Davis acquired the property around 1893 and sold it in 1947 to preservationist John Perkins Brown. In 1957, before Mr. Brown's goal of restoring Bateman's Hotel to its original structure had been realized, he sold the property to real estate developer Louis Chartier. The house was destroyed by fire in 1959, its ruins cleared, and the property developed into the Chartier Circle subdivision.
