MCKILLOP, NEWPORT, New England -- the ornamental details of the library reflect other 'summer cottages' of the "Ochre Point" neighbourhood.

Speranza

The McKillop Library is a state-of-the-art facility that holds approximately 150,000 volumes.

It was completed in 1991.

Designed by the architectural firm of Robinson Green Beretta, the 70,000-square-foot structure echoes the Gothic lines of Wakehurst to the north. 

Other ornamental details, such as finials on the library’s gabled peaks, are reflective of other mansions in "the Ochre Point neighbourhood".
