A rare architectural treasure in the heart of Newp A rare architectural treasure in the heart of Newport, Boxcroft House at 7 Red Cross Avenue is a distinguished stone-and-shingle residence built in 1886 as the grand home of American artist Samuel Coleman. Coleman commissioned the legendary architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, whose work helped define America’s Gilded Age, and the home has since been exquisitely restored and renovated by Horan Building Company, honoring its historic significance while elevating it to modern luxury standards. The home showcases exceptional interior craftsmanship, with finely restored millwork, elegant staircases, detailed moldings, and beautifully proportioned rooms. Thoughtful renovations introduce modern systems and amenities while preserving the home’s architectural integrity. The 7,247-square-foot main residence, plus 1,350 square feet on the lower level, offers 8 bedrooms and 8.5 baths, including six en-suite bedrooms. The serene primary suite features a spa-like bath, expansive walk-in closets, and a private office, creating a refined personal retreat. Two additional private suites provide ideal accommodations for a nanny or in-law. Set on an expansive 28,314-square-foot lot, the exterior reflects the same level of care and craftsmanship, with classic architectural detailing, manicured grounds, and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces. A heated saltwater pool anchors the property, while a separate, secluded patio offers an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, perfect for elegant entertaining or quiet relaxation. A truly exceptional Newport estate, Boxcroft House represents the convergence of historic architecture, masterful craftsmanship, and modern luxury. The residence has also been recognized on a global stage with its recent feature in WSJ Mansion Global. 7 Red Cross Avenue, Newport, RI 8 Beds | 9 Baths 8,597 Sq. Ft.

A federal judge has cleared the way for constructi A federal judge has cleared the way for construction to resume on the nearly finished Revolution Wind project — a decision critics say puts national security, marine life, coastal communities and already-strained ratepayers at risk. In a ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said the federal government failed to justify a full stop-work order on the offshore wind farm planned for waters off Rhode Island and Connecticut. The judge ruled that construction could move forward while the Trump administration reviews national security concerns tied to the project. The wind farm, backed by Danish energy giant Ørsted, is nearly 90% complete and weeks away from feeding electricity into the regional grid. Developers say delays are costing more than $1.4 million a day. But opponents argue the real cost is far higher. Environmental and fishing advocates warn that offshore wind construction has already been linked to increased whale deaths, disruption of marine habitats and long-term damage to the ocean ecosystem. Coastal communities fear industrial turbines looming offshore will scar the seascape, hurt tourism and raise electricity prices — not lower them. President Donald Trump has been blunt about his opposition, calling wind farms “losers” that kill wildlife, destroy views and fail economically. His administration froze multiple East Coast projects last month, citing national security concerns that remain classified. Ørsted insists the project will deliver “affordable, reliable” power, but critics note offshore wind has required massive subsidies — costs that ultimately land on ratepayers. Rhode Island and Connecticut officials backed the project in court, arguing that politics shouldn’t override permits already granted. The judge agreed — for now. With other offshore wind cases still pending, the ruling gives the industry a temporary win. But for those worried about marine mammals, coastal economies and rising energy bills, it’s another troubling step toward turning the Atlantic into an industrial power zone. #windfarm #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
