- Located on Commonwealth Avenue
- Demolished: 1959
This large mid-eighteenth-century country estate was built for the prominent Collins family of Newport. It was acquired in the 1840s by Seth Bateman, who by 1860 encased the original house in additions and operated it as Bateman's Hotel. A favorite excursion spot for coaching meets, formal picnics, and rustic dances, Bateman's became synonymous with the Newport lifestyle. Acquired around 1893 by Edmund W. Davis, the property was sold only in 1947 to Newport preservationist John Perkins Brown. With funds provided by the Misses Wetmore of Chateau-sur-Mer, a restoration was planned to return the Bateman Hotel complex back to its eighteenth-century core. J. Perkins Brown however sold the property, before work was much advanced, to local developer Louis Chartier for $13,000 in 1957. The Bateman Hotel burned mysteriously on February 24, 1959 and the ruins were cleared for the Chartier Circle subdivision.
