The master bedroom side of the
main house was added on to in the
early 1800’s and then the plant room,
which is temperature-controlled, was
added on to the house in the 1970’s.
Each year multiple plants are spawned
throughout the winter inside the room
before being planted elsewhere on the
property in the spring and summer,
one of many reasons for the abundance
of plants scattered throughout the
property. Swain’s plant collection
includes Clivia, cactuses, grapefruit,
hibiscus, Rhodesia rhododendrons,
elephant ears and many more.
“It never goes below 50 degrees in
here,” said Swain of the plant room.
The plant room makes way to the
300-square-foot living room/music
room, where Allen felt a great majority
of entertaining could take place in the
main house.
“Many old houses don’t have the
kind of room to fit a baby grand piano,
but this space has more than enough,”
said Allen.
With no storage available in the
basement, Swain said she has more
than made due with the nooks and
cranny spots around the old house that
provide for that storage, including a
Cape Cod Cellar upstairs that she said
could easily be converted into a walk-
in closet.
“You can never have enough storage,”
Swain said.
In her kitchen, Swain shows off dozens
of “Best in Show” prizes she has garnered
over the years for her flowers, jams and
pies that she has created off her land.

Kites creators Justine Axelsson
and Leila de Bruyne, both just 24,
they have already had an impact in just a
few short years.
Don’t let the name “Flying Kites” fool
you. It has nothing to do with seeing
an actual kite fly through the air, but
instead, its about children-surrounded by
hunger and poverty in war-torn regions
in Africa, that are soaring to new heights
through the Flying Kites child care
and school program and the non-profit
groups efforts to improve the lives of the
estimated 100,000 orphaned, homeless,
and abused children in Kenya.
“We chose the name 'Flying Kites'
because we wanted our efforts in Kenya
to speak to the carefree, innocent, and
magical aspects of childhood,” said
Axelsson. “The image of a kite flying
through the air invokes feelings of
freedom and excitement that we believe
every child should have a chance to
experience. This is what we want for our
children in Kenya.”
The idea behind Flying Kites was
spawned in 2004 while both students
were at Salve Regina College in Newport.
