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).〔http://www.warwickhistory.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=179:ccri-moves-to-the-knight-estate-in-warwick&catid=46:knight-estate-&Itemid=99〕
