Notes
  • Significance: This house, now restored and open as a museum, is probably the most authentic surviving example of a seventeenth-century, stone-ender Rhode Island House.

The house was restored in 1941. The placement of the battened door and small windows glazed with leaded glass is conjectural. The most distinctive feature of the building, its stone end chimney and partial stone end wall could predate King Philip's War but it is also possible that the entire building dates to as late as 1691. (For more information, see Buildings of Rhode Island, p. 171)
