Ochre Court Mansion of Salve Regina University

Ochre Court (1888-1892) is the first of a group of spectacular houses in the Grand Manner designed by Richard Morris Hunt, America's foremost architect of the late nineteenth century. Ochre Court served as the "summer cottage" of Gilded Age banker and developer, Ogden Goelet. This stately fifty-room limestone palace was the entire college for the first few years of Salve Regina's existence. It is now the home of Salve Regina University's administrative offices.
