The Times, Clingstone, and Some Rooftops.

There’s a pretty cool photo essay in the Times today about Clingstone, which is not a Bourne Identity sequel, but rather a 103-year-old mansion perched on a rock in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay. There are original images shot for the Times by Erik Jacobs paired with historical images of the property.

Very well-done, and drool worthy.

I would like to summer with you, Clingstone.

Clingstone was built by
J.S. Lovering Wharton in 1905. Mr. Wharton worked with an artist, William Trost
Richards, to create a house of picture windows with 23 rooms on three
stories radiating off a vast central hall.

In vaguely-related news, check out some rather spectacular structures perched not on rocks, but on NYC rooftops in this flickr set, here.

    I’ll be going to Clingstone for a wedding celebration in two and a half weeks. I’m very excited to check this place out!
