'Inchiquin' is one of the most valuable among the smaller estates in Newport. It is at the southern end of Bellevue Avenue, overlooking Bailey's Beach, and has a handsome stone villa. It was last occupied by Baroness Seilliere in 1901, when she introduced to society her daughter, Miss Constance Livermore, who was later married to the Count De Lubersac of France. For the last two summers the villa has been occupied by Mr., and Mrs. Pembroke Jones, and has been the scene of their many notable entertainments.
The estate is worth fully $100,000. It is expected, that Mrs. Livermore will occupy 'Inchiquin' next Summer. She will be a neighbor of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Mortimer Brooks, whose estate, 'Rockhurst', is across Bellevue Avenue, on a diagonally opposite corner."
The Baroness Seilliere was the adopted daughter of John O'Brien. She was a daughter of Mrs. O'Brien by a former husband. After her first husband died she married the Baron de Seilliere, brother of the Princess de Sagan.
Now a seven unit condominium.
