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.
