more »Owner description:
Built in 1810, Linden Place magnificently reflects the prosperity of the DeWolf merchant princes and the exquisite taste inspired by the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Visitors see one of the best examples of Federal architecture, from the Palladian windows to the fluted Corinthian columns, which flank the front entrance and the four-story spiral staircase. Tour highlights include tales of DeWolf family exploits, from their privateering and slave trading to their financial ruin and triumphant return to prosperity during Victorian times. Docents introduce visitors to family members Pomeroy Colt, founder of United States Rubber, now Uniroyal, his mother Theodora DeWolf Colt, who as Madam Colt ran Bristol Society from Linden Place as if she were Queen Victoria and the great actress Ethel Barrymore who married in to this most prominent of American families. Visitors are also welcome to stroll the sculpture-filled gardens where they will find Greek bronzes and an 18th Century gazebo.

"Lovers of garden beauty,history, and the peaceful ocean views,would love a trip to Blithewold Mansion.First tour the mansion,furnished with many original pieces of furniture,learn about the family that lived there,then stroll the beautiful gardens. It is all so beautiful and serene. The city of Br..."istol,RI is lovely too. When leave Blithewold,you may drive to the shopping area,alot of little boutiques are there. There are many places to eat,and there's a lovely park on the water,and you can stroll or just sit and relax by the water.Last by not least,a homemade ice cream cone,wow thats good.Its a beautiful get away for the day,that's sure to make you want to do it all over again.

"After seeing an old episode of PBS' Victory Garden shot here, I decided to take a day trip to see the gardens for myself (particularly because I had just planted a bamboo garden at my home and wanted to see the one here). All of the docents, both inside the house and in the gardens, are very friend..."ly and enthusiastic to answer questions.
The garden docent answered many questions about different plants and their care/maintenance (and offered to take our picture). The house docents gave us a lot of history and information about the family. The house doesn't have the grandeur (or should I say pomp?) of the Newport mansions, but it is beautiful and will make you jealous of the incredible views the family had.
A visit here is part of an an enjoyable day in Bristol (Colt State Park is terrific. Many cute shops on Hope Street. Restaurants on Hope and Thames Streets). The visitor center on Hope Street will provide you with maps, brochures and much information. Other museums and...
