As one of the most densely populated states in the country, Rhode Island doesn't have a lot of open space outside of our amazing parks. That said, there are still a few abandoned places in Rhode Island that somehow escaped demolition. Here are some sites in the state that are slowly being taken over by nature.

3. Old stone house at Scarborough Beach, Narragansett.

This stone structure in a secluded area next to the beachfront is a beautiful and slightly scary sight. Curious to learn more? Gather 'round for a story! Windswept is the name of the 21-room mansion that once stood guard over the crashing waves along this piece of shoreline. It was constructed in 1895 for the Davis family. All that remains of the seaside mansion today are the remnants of the carriage house. The beautiful stone ruins stand as a testament to days long gone. The Davis family built Windswept from the money earned from a business deal. The Davises created quite a family fortune with their product, "Perry Davis’s Vegetable Pain Killer." Grandson, Eugene Davis sold off the Pain Killer name and with the profits built the coastal mansion. Four decades later, the property was sold to the Castiglione brothers. The brothers converted the mansion into an upscale restaurant called Cobb’s by the Sea. In 1952, it was sold again and left uninhabited, the property suffered vandalism and three fires over a span of years. The mansion was demolished in 1974 and the property was purchased by the Department of Environmental Management. Today the stone carriage house ruins remain standing perched on the edge of Scarborough Beach, offering a unique window to the sea and a glimpse into the past.
