Hi there!
This is my first post so be gentle.
This structure is on a rock beach. I'm not quite sure what it is? Looks kinda like a chapel.
Sorry if the quality is off. Resizing photos on mobile isn't exactly awesome.

wow reminds me of ireland
Kabbalah is an undramatic tradition that requires great patience and stability. One of the reasons for this tempo is that everyone has to mature his potential gradually and thoroughly at his natural pace. In this way his life's work unfolds at the right moment in his own and the cosmos's time.

Nice first post. I went to a cool abandoned fort out there once. RI is a very beautiful place.

I have found out that this structure is the teahouse for a local mansion. It was built in the 1890s and was a playhouse for the family's children. (Can you imagine a play house with two working kitchens and fireplace?!)
This teahouse was destroyed by a fire in 1901.
On a side note, the mansion is owned by the Diocese and is used as a wedding venue. They also have a boarded up stone carriage house, massive water tower, and what used to be a religious school on the grounds. I would absolutely LOVE to explore these unused parts of the property.
I wonder if I called them up and said I was a freelance photographer, they would let me explore? Anyone have any success with this kind of request for exploration?

Social engineering can lead to AMAZING exploration opportunities. Not sure of your age but if you're younger you can tell them it's for a school project. One that I've used is that to say that you're writing a book on historical buildings. Both can lead to some great information about the location that you would never find through normal research. If you have a good, professional camera, make sure you have it with you when you talk to them - it shows you're serious.

I had good luck with a seminary outside of NYC, as long as you are respectful in your approach & have a decent story, they should be ok with it as long as there aren't any major safety issues with the locations that they don't want to assume liability for. Biggest problem with where I went were bees & spiders, nothing out of the ordinary but it was a great location

Excellent start
Keep sploring and posting.
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

cool photos on what looks like a quite dreary day. I ran into this place by accident a quite a few years back and took a ton of photos. The person that lived nearby on the other side of the large overgrown garden was very cool and nice.

Nice, I haven't seen this one yet. I live in Newport and we've got a few abandoned ruins from the same time period. Shoot me a message if you ever wanna check out some areas on my side of the state!
