Clingstone Mansion



This house is truly amazing. Not only because of his age who has been 103 years but also because it was founded in the middle of the sea. It is said that this house has stood since 1905, precisely on the rocks of Rhode Island in the middle of the sea. The house was often called Clingstone.

The house is quite large and quite comfortable. The house was built by JS Lovering Wharton, at a cost of 36,000 dollars, a distant cousin Henry Wood (79), which is now the owner.


Henry Wood with his ex-wife bought it in 1961 for $ 3600 U.S. dollars. Later he became the mansion renovation and is now an attractive and comfortable and has been inhabited for two decades more.
It was Wood's remarkable discovery.



Imagine the house has 23 rooms, and Wood still maintaining room architecture and its settings like 100 years ago. Every year, on certain holidays, Wood and his family invite dozens of friends to holiday in their place.

The house is indeed very large, therefore requiring a lot of people to be able to clean it. Understand it, Wood and his family did not live there every day. They only use it for vacation Manson. So when they come, the first thing to do is, work hard to make it shiny again.



But the volunteers, friends Wood, of course volunteered to help clean it up. They think it's interesting activity holidays filler. Wood and family and friends only came there when the summer. Usually they spend their week-long holiday period. While in winter, large Manson was silent and deserted. Boat them stay safe in the store on a floating dock near James Town Boatyard.
