National Historic Landmark- Newport Casino

Built in 1880-1881, this Shingle-Style wood-frame complex of buildings is architecturally significant as an early design of the famed American architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White.

It is also one of the first examples of the suburban and resort country clubs built with recreational facilities, which were a new feature of the sophisticated social life of the 1880s.

The Casino hosted the U.S. Lawn Tennis Championships from 1881 to 1914 and has continued as a site for international tennis tournaments. Today it includes the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
