Vernon House, Colonial mansion in Newport, United States
The Vernon House stands at 46 Clarke Street, featuring a hip roof with dormers and exterior walls designed to resemble stone coursing.
Built in 1758 for Metcalf Bowler, the house later served as headquarters for French commander Comte de Rochambeau during the American Revolutionary War.
The interior contains Chinese-inspired murals depicting court punishments in the northwest room, reflecting global influences in colonial American architecture.
The Newport Restoration Foundation maintains this National Historic Landmark as a center for preservation education and community engagement programs.
The structure combines architectural elements from different periods, including construction materials from the late 17th century integrated into its 18th-century frame.
