Indian Oaks, once the Senator Nelson W. Aldrich Estate, is an historic country estate at 836 Warwick Neck Avenue in Warwick, Rhode Island. The extensive estate was developed in 1899 by Nelson W. Aldrich (1841-1915), a Republican Party politician who dominated state politics of the period. The main estate house is a sprawling stone French Renaissance structure with lavish interior decoration. The estate's surviving outbuildings include a boathouse and a caretaker's house, the latter located across Warwick Neck Avenue from the main estate. Aldrich's heirs sold the property to the Roman Catholic church in 1939, and it was adapted for use as a seminary.[2] It now serves as the main campus of the Overbrook Academy, a Catholic girls' school.
The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
