Belton Court, constructed in 1905, is a historic estate in Barrington, Rhode Island. The medieval-inspired, castle-like mansion has undergone numerous incarnations in the past 100 years, including Ferrin Hall, Gibson Memorial Building, Peck Mansion, Barrington College, and most recently, Zion Bible College, which used it until 2008.
The campus was purchased in 2011 by ShineHarmony Holdings LLC, which stated its intention to turn the mansion into elderly housing. When I explored it in 2014, there were a few signs of preliminary renovation, however word has it that as of 2021, nothing more happened, and the building is in bad shape and facing the possibility of demolition.

A very out-of-place Disney decorated safe room for which I have no explanation.
