The Knight Estate is a historic estate in 486 East Avenue in Warwick, Rhode Island that is home to the first location of the Community College of Rhode Island. In October 1964:
Royal Webster Knight, great grandson of Robert Knight of the famous B. B. & R. Knight Company and owner of the Pontiac Mill, gave eighty acres of his property in the Natick section of Warwick to the State of Rhode Island for a junior college campus...This land, which included his large Federal and Greek Revival home and a number of excellent farm buildings, became the nucleus of the Knight Campus of Rhode Island Junior College (now the Community College of Rhode Island).
