Vaucluse, Wapping Road (Parts in Metropolitan Museum, NY), Middletown, Newport County, RI

Significance: At the time of the HABS survey (1938), Vaucluse was in poor condition. The district officer described it as "a two-story clapboarded structure with minor wings, with brick and stone foundation." He also noted there were two interior end chimneys in the original part of the house. Since then, the house has been demolished and its doorway with side and toplights and carved frieze preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
