Footsteps away from a favorite Victorian vacation spot, The
1900 House retains the charm and grace of a bygone era.
Located in the historical village of Narragansett, this bed
and breakfast is filled with antiques, collectibles, and turn
of the century artwork. Guests will enjoy openness, bright
rooms, and close proximity to the beach, the famous seawall,
and other historic sights. 
During your visit you are invited to view the antique
stereoscope, lift lids off the many wooden boxes to see what's
inside, look through the two hat boxes filled with antique
postcards, peruse the many handmade quilts, enjoy the porch in
warm weather, shower "under the stars" in the
outdoor enclosed shower, sample anything from Bill's garden
and just forget about the modern world and relax.
This historic home has three bedrooms, freshly decorated and
each with a private bath. The Blue Room has a canopy bed, and
one room has a large antique oak bed. There is a TV in each
room and a guest refrigerator for your convenience.
A full gourmet breakfast is served 8:30 to 9:30 each
morning.
Just a block and a half away from the ocean, with its
swimmers, surfers, anglers and boaters, The 1900 House offers
guests a chance to do it all or do nothing but stretch out on
the wicker chaise on the porch and read a good book. A
leisurely walk will take you to fine dining, the cinema, and
Memorial Park, where summer weekends bustle with art shows,
Civil War re-enactments, seafood festivals and carnivals. On
Friday evenings, the gazebo is filled with live music. A short
ride to Narragansett's authentic Fishing Port will offer you
charter boats, tour boats and seafood at its freshest. The
Point Judith Lighthouse clings to the southern tip of
Narragansett and provides a spectacular view of the ocean.

Historians can walk to South County Museum and the Victorian
towers. A short ride will take them to Smith's Castle, Gilbert
Stuart Museum and the Museum of Primitive Arts and Culture.
Golfers have a choice of 10 different courses in the area.
Naturalists marvel at the unspoiled scenery and wildlife at
nearby conservation and wildlife refuges.
The University of Rhode Island is 15 minutes away, while
Providence is home to Brown University and the Rhode Island
School of Design. Johnson and Wales University is just 35
minutes away.
A twenty-minute drive to Newport, the vacation land resort
of the Victorian rich and famous, offers the chance to explore
mansions and antique shops, or perhaps watch a movie being
filmed, and then return to the tranquility of The 1900 House.
