FAIRLAWN, Ritchie's summer cottage, Newport, New England.

Speranza

Built during the initial development of Bellevue Avenue in the 1850s, the Queen Anne-style mansion named "Fair Lawn" was commissioned by Boston lawyer Andrew Ritchie and designed by architect Seth C. Bradford

The property has undergone several alterations over the years, including the addition of a ballroom and the installation of Tiffany stained glass windows in the great hall.
In 1999, the Newport Historical Society praised the restoration.
