Abandoned Newport Mansion | The Bells | Rhode Island
Abandoned Newport Mansion | The Bells | Rhode Island
This is an abandoned Newport mansion…kind of. This isn’t really the mansion. These are actually the remains of the stable house and garage that was built next to the mansion. But if this is just where the horses slept, just imagine what the actual mansion was like? Welcome to what remains of the Abandoned Bells Estate.

The Gilded Age was an era from from around 1870 to 1900. It was a time of rapid economic growth from Industrial and technological advances mainly in the northern and western united states. Railroads were the major growth industry, with the factory system, mining, and finance increasing in importance. But it was also a time of straight up poverty and inequality as the wealth was highly concentrated at the top, with the workforce being paid barely a livable wage.
From 1860 to 1900, the wealthiest 2% of American households owned more than a third of the nation’s wealth. To put this in perspective, today the wealthiest 1% of Americans own a third of the nation’s wealth ah man that’s even worse never mind let’s get back to the gilded age.
The phrase Gilded Age was coined by Mark Twain who was making fun of the era – that it was a time of serious social problems masked by a thin gold gilding of economic expansion. It was materialistic excesses combined with extreme poverty.
Some of the big names of the time include John Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, and our boy for this story, lawyer slash businessman Theodore M. Davis, a man who accumulated his wealth through straight up corruption and fraud. He was subject to three congressional investigations, from which he escaped totally unscathed. Being rich sounds awesome.
But Theodore Davis was best known for his excavations in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings between 1902 and 1913. He made some pretty big discoveries, that were frequently highlighted in articles from the New York Times. At least 20 of his digs involved important finds or enhancement of scientific knowledge about ancient Egypt. He financed digs with his own money and hired professional archaeologists, painters & photographers.
Before becoming a world famous explorer, in 1882 he used his wealth to construct a mansion estate right on the ocean in Newport Rhode Island.

I used to come here all the time as a kid! I remember you did an episode on it already a few years ago, but it was a short one. Great to see this!
Very interesting.
Hey Jason, how about looking at United Nuclear Corporation in Charlestown?
Quality content 👏👏👏
Good one
I never knew our state had so many abandoned places..now I just need friends that want to go exploring with me 😂
About an 8 minute ride from me!
I would love to go check this place out, but I dont have a car, and none of my friends are interested, so.. Seems it will be an unexplored mystery to me. Thank you. Keep up the amazing vids.
These videos are awesome!! Moved back to my home state of RI after many years away and am so enjoying leaning about things I never discovered!
Great place to smoke. Lol. Great video
Your stuff is so good, Jason. Each one a gem!
Wow Jason, you outdid yourself on this one….fantastic video ! The history and commentary are great. Thanks very much sir!
We finally explored it this past week and it was amazing! Had been dying to get in there since seeing your original video!
Would love to know what the tower down there is too unless that was part of the mansion and stable too? Beautiful spot to explore!
again if i can hit that thumbs up button a trillion times i would The Old Bell Mansion was great been inside a few times ok many of times your youtube channel by far is the best and a joy to watch because it so well put together Mr Jason have your self a great Sunday catch you on the next video
Love awful awful
To anybody who wants to go:
This is at a public beach the tower is accessible through a path to the left of the entrance. The basement is sealed. There is a second floor but you need a ladder or you need to climb a tree to get up there,yes there is a stair well but it’s a tight space plus there is no railing so you can fall
If you’re from Newport ODBC! If you know you know!
Wow, I just discovered your channel. Your videos are FANTASTIC! I LOVE RI. I own a small business here.

So many years spent exploring this area the stables and tower- shared with my children too always wondering who was there, if the walls could talk, and why it fell to decay. Thank you

So fascinating!! Is there at least a foundation or basement where the original mansion once stood?
Been here so many times it’s so fun
I love your sense of humor!

Love how you do places in RI my home state. Love your channel keep it up the work dude
I’ve been inside this place more times than I can count, really cool to finally know it’s history. Great storytelling!
Awesome info on this! Were you able to find any information on the nearby stone tower that you can easily get to the top? I feel like that is definitely part of the same property as it is close in location.
Talks about the wealthy with vitriol yet is fascinated by what they build….
