Arts & Entertainment
Nearly 200 years old, the Whitehorne House stands out in Newport's Colonial-dominated architecture as one of the few Federal style mansions. Restored by Doris Duke (she of tobacco money), this place is all about furniture, particularly early American furniture. Mainly 18th century furniture, but not exclusively, whatever your tastes there's no denying that they don't make it like this anymore.
