The exterior is a gothic-style limestone palace that borrows heavily from the detail of the great Middle Ages Chateaux of Frances Loire Valley.

March of 1947, Robert Goelet son of Ogden Goelet, donated this 50 room mansion to the Diocese of Providence, who then gave it to the Sisters of Mercy, for the establishment of the school.
The entire college was housed in this building for the first few years of its existence. The eight faculty members were nuns who lived in the mansion's servants quarters. The original 58 women students lived on the third floor and took classes on the second floor. Students ate, studied and used the library on the first floor. They bought books in the mansion's basement. During this time, the library held about 2,000 books, which had been gathered during the 30's and 40's prior to the college having a home. The library in Ochre Court was run by Sister Mary Catherine Durkin from 1947-1950 followed by Sister Marie Therese Lebeau who ran the college's library 1950-1971, during which time the library moved to McAuley.
McAuley Hall In December of 1955, Vinland Estate was donated to Salve Regina by Florence Burden. The estate includes the main structure (a mansion with about 50 rooms) and a great number of outbuildings including a gatehouse, carriage house and potting shed. The Vinland mansion was renamed McAuley Hall, after Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy order. The library was then moved from Ochre Court into McAuley Hall, which is where it was able to grow in terms of volumes and staff. The library was housed on the first and second floors of McAuley, along with faculty offices on the second floor and student residences on the third floor. The library remained in McAuley Hall until the building could hold no more. All the available space had been used and there was a need for an updated information system. It was not the type of building that could be massively renovated due to its historic nature. There was an obvious need to create a modern building to house the library and its collections. Thus McKillop Library was conceived, planned, and built. The main building is now used for faculty offices, student meetings and limited classes. The Venerable Mother Catherine McAuley (1778-1841) was an Irish nun, who founded the Sisters of Mercy in 1831. ...
