The Greene Inn was a shingle style hotel designed by architect William Gibbons Preston and built in 1887 in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Conceived as a year-round facility in what was then primarily a seasonal resort area, the inn featured steam heat delivered to individual rooms—a modern convenience for its era. Its original amenities included stables capable of accommodating up to one hundred polo ponies, reflecting the leisure pursuits of its wealthy clientele. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, the hotel had ceased operations by 1975. It later served as a filming location for the television adaptation of *The House of Mirth* in 1979, but was destroyed by fire in 1980 and subsequently condemned in 1981.
