A primary goal of the Audrain Automobile Museum has always been to acquire and preserve automobiles with historical significance to Newport. Lacking a suitable space, the Museum’s Founders sought to find a proper home for some of Newport’s most historically important automobiles. Defunct and outdated, the historic Audrain Building presented a perfect solution: a home for the museum and an opportunity to restore and preserve a key piece of architectural history. Designed for Adolphe Audrain by noted New York architect Bruce Price in 1902, the Audrain Building represents one of the four Gilded Age buildings that form an architecturally significant block on Bellevue Avenue. Price drew inspiration from the Florentine Renaissance to create an iconic two-story edifice defined by broad arched windows and a roofline distinguished by polychromed terra-cotta ornament, crowned with a roof balustrade with lion finials. The first floor was originally designed to feature six retail shops and the second floor accommodated eleven offices. The end of September is Motor Week. Lots of activities for automobile enthusiasts.

Great little museum for the car enthusiast. They also do Cars and Coffee at Fort Adams on Saturday mornings!

Jay Leno has turned our town into a haven for rich guys who collect cars. If you want to look at some, here's your chance.
