Kinney Bungalow was built 1899 by Francis S. Kinney, a tobacco and real estate millionaire, in order to host parties, especially following polo matches. Its design is strongly influenced by East Indian style, perhaps a taste he acquired from his younger years as a sailor. Shortly following his death, Kinney Bungalow was purchased by the Chase/Ewing family. It was the site of numerous dances, parties, and celebrations. Lucia Chase Ewing, co-founder of the American Ballet Theater, brought the troupe to Narragansett where the Bungalow served as their summer rehearsal site.

In 1991 the Bungalow, along with historic Sunset Farm, was acquired by the Town of Narragansett. The property (Kinney Bungalow and Sunset Farm) is managed by the Narragansett Land Conservancy Trust. Following major restoration work, Kinney Bungalow was opened to the public in 2002.

This venue is ideal for those looking for a unique, yet manageable setting. The inside of bungalow is reminiscent of loft space, with exposed brick, high ceilings, plenty of windows and natural light, and hardwood floors. A fireplace and natural tones brings warmth to the room, and adds to it’s magestic splendor. Events here tend to take on a life of their own with the bungalow serving as an elegant backdrop for cutsom table settings, linens, color pallets, and unique layouts.
