Malbone Castle and Estate
Malbone, a Gothic-style castle and National Historic Landmark built in 1741, is the oldest privately owned estate in Newport, Rhode Island, and once served as the country residence of Colonel Godfrey Malbone (1695-1768) of Virginia and Connecticut. Colonel Malbone made his fortune as a shipping merchant and became one of the wealthiest men in Newport during the 1740s through privateering and the triangle trade.
