A powerful blend of history and forward momentum w A powerful blend of history and forward momentum was on display Thursday as The Miriam Hospital opened a 75-year-old time capsule buried in the cornerstone of its former building—once home to the Jewish Orphanage of Rhode Island.

Sealed in 1950 by then-hospital president Benjamin Brier, the capsule was unearthed during a ceremony kicking off the hospital’s long-anticipated modernization project. The event drew dozens of guests, including staff, supporters, and local leaders, all gathered on the hospital lawn to witness the unveiling.

Among the honored guests was Jeffrey G. Brier, Benjamin Brier’s grandson and former chairman of the hospital’s board, who joined Hospital President Maria Ducharme, DNP, RN, in revealing the capsule’s contents.

Inside: a Providence Journal Sunday edition, a 1925 Jewish Advocate newspaper dedicated to the Parade Street Hospital dedication, letters from dignitaries including then-Gov. Dennis J. Roberts, a 1950 ceremony program, and several 1951 dimes.

“These items are more than just a reminder of our past,” said Ducharme. “They are a testament to the enduring values of compassion, resilience, and community that continue to define The Miriam Hospital today.”

The ceremony also marked the symbolic first step in the hospital’s building replacement project, with the removal of the historic cornerstone paving the way for a reimagined future of patient care.

“When my grandfather placed this time capsule, I doubt he imagined one of his grandchildren would return to open it,” said Jeffrey Brier. “Today is not just a celebration of the past—it’s a continuation of a legacy.”

The hospital’s modernization effort is expected to significantly transform its facilities while honoring its deep community roots.

There’s no better place to flirt with floral fan There’s no better place to flirt with floral fantasy than Rosecliff, the Beaux-Arts masterpiece that will once again blossom into a botanical wonderland for the 29th annual Newport Flower Show, June 20–22. Lovers of lilacs, lilies, and lavish settings can secure their spot at what has become one of the country’s most storied horticultural spectacles.

Presented by the @newport.namsions, the show transforms the iconic Bellevue Avenue mansion into a dazzling blend of high society and high floriculture. This year’s theme, A Floral Fair, is a nostalgic nod to Rosecliff’s original hostess, silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs, whose 1913 fairy tale dinner once turned the estate into a real-life storybook. Think Gilded Age glam meets whimsical county fair—carousel horses, teddy bears, a floral roller coaster, and prize blooms all make appearances in what can only be described as Versailles meets Coney Island.

The centerpiece? A sculptural garden installation by British artist David Harber, staged oceanside on Rosecliff’s great lawn and inspired by the dreamy White City of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Inside and out, florists, designers, and botanical artists will compete and collaborate to reimagine the mansion through a floral lens.

The three-day event also features a curated marketplace with 40+ vendors, selling everything from heirloom garden tools to luxuriously scented cuttings.

Tickets are timed and must be purchased in advance. Tickets for the exclusive Opening Night Party on June 20 — complete with cocktails, canapés, and live music under the stars — are sold out.

For tickets and more information, visit newportmansions.org.

Tucked along a private oceanfront laneway, 19 Tayl Tucked along a private oceanfront laneway, 19 Taylor’s Lane S is the very definition of classic New England charm—refined, relaxed, and perfectly in tune with its natural surroundings. Set on 1.4 acres with sweeping water views and direct shoreline access, this beautifully renovated shingle-style home is everything you would hope it to be!

Offering 3,200 square feet of casually elegant living space, the property includes a main house with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, along with a separate, sun-filled one-bedroom/one-bath guest cottage. A light-filled living room anchors the home with a wall of windows that frame west-facing views—sunsets here are nothing short of magical. The adjacent oceanside dining room, with its decorative painted floors, flows effortlessly from the updated gourmet kitchen, creating the perfect setting for summer dinners.

Two first-floor bedrooms, two full baths, and a cozy library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves round out the main level, offering quiet corners for reading and rest. Upstairs, the dreamy primary suite feels straight out of Coastal Living—with soaring ceilings, a spa-worthy bathroom, a soaking tub, and a generous stone shower.

Just steps from the main house, the guest cottage offers bright, breezy privacy for visitors. With its own open-concept kitchen and living area, it’s as inviting as it is charming.

The property itself is a masterclass in coastal landscape design. Colorful flower gardens, raised vegetable beds, an orchard, and signature stone walls add both beauty and function to the grounds. Along the shoreline, a protective seawall and stone steps lead directly to the rocky beach—perfect for swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply sitting by the water’s edge as the sun slips below the horizon.

Every inch of this beloved property has been thoughtfully cared for, offering a rare chance to own a true Little Compton gem in one of Rhode Island’s most picturesque settings.
