The stables were built to be fireproof so they have withstood the test of time. It is a beautiful stone shell of a building, but nature is slowly reclaiming it with lots of overgrowth. It's insides are pretty empty except some colorful graffiti along the walls.

Brenton Point is named after William Brenton, an early settler whose farm occupied most of the land in this area during the seventeenth century. In 1876 the land at the point passed into the hands of Theodore M. Davis, a lawyer and one of the most famous Egyptologists of his time. Between 1876 and 1883 he erected "the Reef", a large shingled mansion characterized by its tall chimneys, distinctive tower and wide windows overlooking the sea. As landscape gardening enthusiast, M. Davis also created some of the most beautiful and extensive formal gardens in Newport.
The house burned down in the 70's, but the stable and tower still remain. The L-shaped stables at the rear of the estate were designed to be both fashionably grand and fireproof. The tower originally held a four-faced clock and musical chimes.
