Vinland Estate, Richardsonian Romanesque mansion in Newport, United States.
The red sandstone structure features Nordic patterns, Viking motifs, ashlar walls, round arches, and elaborate window surrounds with Celtic-inspired designs.
Tobacco heiress Catharine Lorillard Wolfe commissioned architects Peabody & Stearns to build this estate in 1882 for $500,000 on a 13-acre plot.
Interior designs include work from William Morris, stained glass windows by Burne-Jones, and decorative elements inspired by Longfellow's poem The Skeleton in Armor.
The estate now serves as McAuley Hall at Salve Regina University, containing faculty offices, student meeting spaces, and academic classrooms.
Two Roman Doliums flank the entrance of this mansion, which takes its name from the first recorded Norse landing site in North America.
