Clingstone, Historic house on Dumpling Island, Rhode Island, US.
The three-story mansion contains 23 rooms and spans 10,000 square feet, with heavy mill framing designed for hurricane resistance.
J.S. Lovering Wharton constructed this house in 1905 after the government took his previous summer residence for Fort Wetherill development.
The structure influenced director Wes Anderson, who incorporated elements of its interior shingle design into the house featured in Moonrise Kingdom.
The property requires boat access and currently operates as a rental accommodation with ten bedrooms available for weekly stays.
Boston architect Henry Wood purchased the abandoned building in 1961 for $3,600 in back taxes and restored it using salvaged materials.
