Brief history
It was originally owned by Senator Nelson Aldrich. Its construction began in 1896 and was completed some 16 years later. In 1901 Abby Aldrich married John D. Rockefeller, Jr. at the mansion. In 1939, the Senator’s heirs transferred the Aldrich Mansion to the Providence Diocese for a token sum. Our Lady of Providence Seminary relocated to the Aldrich Mansion in 1946.
The estate is currently set on 85 acres (34 ha) (or 75 depending on the source). It consists of the French inspired mansion itself, a coach house, a caretaker's cottage and boathouse.
It was William Parrish's mansion in the 1998 motion picture Meet Joe Black.[1]
Usage today
