<p>Dewey Cottage is a historic house in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>The cottage, now operated as the Admiral Dewey Inn, was built in 1898 in a late-Victorian style and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cottage was named after Commodore George Dewey who in "May of 1898 in Manila, the Philippines...surprised the Spanish Pacific fleet...and destroyed it without suffering a single casualty. The Commodore became an Admiral and hero of the nation. Dewey had been Commander of the Naval War College in Newport, and Rhode Island felt especially proud."</p><br>
<p>Accordingly, "hat same month in Matunuck, Rhode Island, George Irving Champlin and his wife Etta Jane (Tucker) opened their beachfront boardinghouse and named it "The Dewey Cottage" in honor of our hero."</p><br>
<p>Nearly a century later, "n 1988...new owner—Joan LeBel—reopened the fully restored Admiral Dewey Inn.

<p>The Henry Eldred Farm is an historic farm complex at 368 Old North Road in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The main block of the farmhouse, a -story wood-frame structure, was probably built c. 1822, although there is architectural evidence suggesting it may be an enlargement of an older structure. Its simple Federal styling is distinctly rural and vernacular in character. The complex also includes a cluster of buildings dating to the mid-19th century, including a barn, carriage house, shed, and blacksmith shop.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The George Kent Performance Hall  is a historic building in Westerly, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building, a rectangular Carpenter Gothic structure, was built as a church in 1886-89 by Patrick Holliday for Immaculate Conception Parish the first Roman Catholic parish in Westerly, founded in 1886. The parish is part of the Diocese of Providence and the church was in use by the parish until 1968, when services were moved to a new and larger structure located about 100 yards south of the old building. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The building served as the Westerly Center from the Arts from the early 1970s until 1991 when it was purchased by the Chorus of Westerly.</p><br>
<p>In 2005 the building was rededicated as the George Kent Performance Hall.

Some private and community activities also take place in the center.</p><br>
<p>Dunmere is a historic estate at 560 Ocean Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>The estate, which originally included a -story Queen Anne/Stick style residence, gatehouse, and other buildings, was designed by John M. Merrick and was built in 1883. Dunmere was commissioned by Robert G. Dun (of Dun and Bradstreet fame) and served as his summer home until his death. It consisted of 13 acre with 500 ft of ocean frontage. Major buildings included the main home, located close to the ocean, The Gardeners Cottage, located atop the hill, overlooking the property, the stable and the impressive stone archway, traversing Dunmeres entrance gates. In addition to a mosaic swimming pool and vast gardens, Dunmere featured a man-made pond on the waterfront. Following a massive fire at the main house, the property has since been split into three residential properties. Only the Gardener&#39;s Cottage and entrance gates remain standing today.</p><br>
<p>The Gardeners Cottage, gate and garden are the principal elements of the estate that remain today. The unique entry, a rough stone masonry arch with turret and wrought iron gates, is situated slightly east of Ocean Road on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Above and to its south stands the Gardeners Cottage, a granite masonry building with Romanesque and Queen Anne features. The cottage sits high on a large stone outcropping about 150 feet from Ocean Road. Narragansett Bay is 600 feet to the east of the building. This area also includes garden terraces, fountains, an artificial lake, two gazebos, a stone-arched bridge, stone retaining walls and a shingled stable block. The estate once included a 3/4-story Eastlake and Queen Anne shingled and clapboard mansion, a large greenhouse complex, and a billiard room and bowling alley, which have since been demolished or destroyed by fire. The carriage house, now located on a separate lot, has been converted into a residence.</p><br>
<p>The flower gardens on the upper terrace were laid out in a formal plan with intersecting paths and stairways to the lower terraces. A Victorian star-shaped flower bed was once located on the lower terrace, now replaced with lawn. A small ornamental stone bridge gives access to the granite ledges along the shoreline. Some of these features appear to have been added or updated after 1900, although the principal design features from the late 1880s remain, including the stone boundary walls.</p><br>
<p>Remnants of the support base for an iron fishing stand used by Dun for bass fishing are present near the water&#39;s edge. A service/recreation complex of greenhouses, billiard room and bowling alley formerly stood on the north side of the garden terrace along with the carriage house and stable block, behind a stone retaining wall. This wall forms the northern boundary of the property.</p><br>
<p>The large entrance gate to the estate is an elliptical, rough-cut granite arch with a small turret on the south side. On the north side of the gate, massive blocks of rough-cut, randomly coursed granite extend outward from a large natural granite outcrop to form the arch. On the opposite (south) side is a thirty-four foot tower. The uppermost level of the tower is corbeled. Above the corbeling of the tower are wooden brackets which support the rafters of the tower&#39;s conical roof. Originally, the roof was red terracotta tile, but at some unknown time these were replaced with wood shingles. Granite steps spiral around the exterior of the tower ending in a walkway across the arch to the granite ledge on the other side. Originally, the tower featured gargoyles with wrought iron lanterns hanging from their mouths. Within the wrought iron work of the large, hinged gates is the name of the estate, "Dunmere," in decorative script.</p><br>
<p>The Gardeners Cottage, as it was historically known, is a complexly massed, granite masonry and wood-frame building with three major components. The original part of the building is a forty-three-foot, conical-roof tower of modified cylindrical, bottle-like form, constructed in 1883 as the estates water tower. In 1889, a substantial dwelling for the gardener was added onto the east side of the water tower. This alteration corresponds with the expansion of the estate gardens at the same time and the relocation and reconstruction of several other estate outbuildings, including the greenhouses and carriage house. The building has compact wings covered by hip roofs, anchored by a massive, granite central chimney. The hip roof over the west wing, connecting to the water tower, has a lower pitch and originally had a flat-deck widow&#39;s walk surrounded by a balustrade.</p><br>
<p>The cottage features a variety of wings, bays, towers, and decorative elements. Fourteen granite steps, carved in a shelf of exposed ledge in the 1880s, lead upward to the primary entrance to the Gardener&#39;s Cottage from the garden terraces below. At the top of this staircase is a series of cobblestone terraces.</p><br>
<p>The buildings towers and the main portion of the house are a mixture of rough-cut, rock-faced, pink and gray granite. All of the windows have heavy granite sills and lintels. The base of the former water tower is granite. As the tower rises, it changes from masonry to shingled wooden construction at the roof line of the attached central block of the cottage. The top of the tower had Romanesque arch openings with turned railings on the inside, below which was a double belt course of fish-scale shingles. Old photographs show the tower originally had a bell-shaped roof with a double gable balcony in the Eastlake style attached to the second story. The balcony was incorporated into the roof line of the gardeners cottage when it was built in 1889. It is not known when it was completely removed.</p><br>
<p>Originally, a large, circular windmill was located on top of the tower roof to draw water from a well 180 feet below ground up to a cistern located in the second story of the tower. The water was gravity-fed from this location to the greenhouses, main house, carriage house and fountains below. The windmill was rebuilt after the 1938 hurricane, but when it was blown down again in the 1954 hurricane, it was not replaced.</p><br>
<p>The asymmetrical front (south) elevation of the gardener&#39;s cottage, facing the garden, has a projecting wing with rounded corners near the center, a cylindrical tower at each end, and a large, rounded arch for the front entranceway located between the front (south) wing and water (west) tower. An oriel window above the entrance is built of rough faced granite. The base of the oriel window is also the keystone for the entrance arch. To the right of the door, within the arch, is a Romanesque double-hung window with a fleur-de-lis design. Both the rounded arch of the window and the sill are granite. On the first floor of the front wing are three pairs of triple-sash windows with Queen Anne details. Above, the second floor includes a projecting gable containing a triplet of double-hung, Queen Anne style windows, flanked by two, tiny, square, single-sash windows on each side. There is a corbel cornice along much of the roofline on this facade, and on the east tower as well.</p><br>
<p>The surviving elements of the estate were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Fort Ninigret is a historic fort and trading post site at Fort Neck Road in Charlestown, Rhode Island, built and occupied by European settlers in the seventeenth century. At its 1883 dedication, Commissioner George Carmichael, Jr. referred to it as "the oldest military post on the Atlantic coast."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological excavations have shown that people lived on Fort Neck long before the Europeans arrived, although this was never a large village. But around 1620, many Niantic people settled at this place (cousins and allies of the larger Narragansett tribe), growing corn, making wampum, and trading with the Dutch and English Colonists for such things as beads, pipes, and copper kettles. Ninigret, for whom the fort was named, was the sachem of the Niantics by the 1630s.</p><br>
<p>Most historians believe that the fort was built by the Dutch West India Company or by Portuguese explorers prior to 1637, in addition to the earlier trading post on nearby Dutch Island. One of the first printed references to Dutch forts in Rhode Island was Samuel Arnold&#39;s 1858 History of the State of Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>In 1921−22, a European sword and cannon were found at an Indian cemetery near the site, along with many other goods which demonstrate that this was a European fort. The artifacts are now in the possession of the Rhode Island Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>King Philips War (1675–76) cemented Colonial rule over most of the Indian lands of Rhode Island, but a reservation was set aside for the tribe encompassing much of todays Charlestown. Many Narragansetts had joined Ninigret&#39;s people for safety, and soon the name Niantic fell out of use. At Fort Ninigret, tribal members lived in wigwams into the 18th century. Nearby stood the European-style house of the sachems, who sold off tribal property to the Colonists to pay their debts. By the 19th century, Fort Neck was the last piece of land held in common by the Narragansett tribe which had access to salt water.</p><br>
<p>In 1883, the state abolished relations with the tribe, instead conferring upon its members the rights and duties of US citizenship. As part of this process, the state transformed the remains of Fort Ninigret into a monument to the 250 years of positive relations between the Narragansett Indians (and their modern descendants) with their non-Indian neighbors. The state reshaped the earthen banks of the fort, under the direction of the commissioners of the Narragansett Indian Tribe, planted evergreens, and erected an iron fence along the outlines of the old fort. A boulder was moved from the nearby hills and inscribed with these words:</p><br>
<p>Fort Ninigret</p><br>
<p>Memorial of the Narragansett and Niantic Indians</p><br>
<p>Unwavering Friends and Allies of Our Fathers</p><br>
<p>Erected by the State of Rhode Island</p><br>
<p>Dwight R. Adams, William P. Sheffield, Jr., George Carmichael, Jr.: Comrs</p><br>
<p>1883</p><br>
<p>Gideon L. Ammons and Joshua H. Noka spoke at the monument&#39;s dedication, both members of the Indian Council.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, the federal government acknowledged that the Narragansetts were still alive and well in Rhode Island, and they were once again recognized as a tribe. Today Fort Ninigret is maintained by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and the Charlestown Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Fort Ninigret was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Archaeological excavations were conducted there during the 1970s by the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission and by archaeologists from New York University.</p><br>

<p>Gardencourt is an historic home at 10 Gibson Avenue in Narragansett, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by William Gibbons Preston in Shingle style and built for businessman Charles E. Pope in 1888. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The first floor is built of large fieldstone, with a wood-frame shingled second floor. The roof is gabled, descending to the first floor to shelter a (now enclosed) porch. The roof is pierced by a small eyebrow window. A two-story wing extends to the south of the building.</p><br>
<p>Preston designed Gardencourt as one of a group of five structures, but the others were never built. However, the historic house is now encompassed by the Gibson Court condominium complex, consisting of several similarly styled buildings constructed in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Ezekial Gardner House was an historic house at 297 Pendar Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It was a -story wood-frame house, with a gambrel roof. The oldest portion of the house dated to the early 18th century, and was the best-preserved of several period houses built by members of the locally prominent Gardner family. The house stood, along with an early 20th-century barn, at the end of a long tree-lined lane on the west side of Pendar Road.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. As of 2001, it had been disassembled and placed in storage.</p><br>
<p>The R.R. Gardner House is a historic house located in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story wood-frame house was built in 1896 and extended in the early 20th century with an ell to the rear. The main block has a cross-gable roof configuration, and features the irregular styling that typifies the then popular Queen Anne style. The house is a local example of a country estate house built in a rural setting. The property includes a barn that is contemporary to the house, to which an older Cape-style farmhouse is connected, and a former one-room schoolhouse which was converted into a caretaker&#39;s residence.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Gladstone Springhouse and Bottling Plant is an historic water bottling facility at 145a Boon Street in Narragansett, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>The springhouse was constructed in 1899 by T. G. Hazard, Jr. The bottling plant building may date from as early as 1911. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The springhouse collects the water of Gladstone Springs. It contains about seven and a half feet of water. It is a round stone structure, 30 ft in diameter and standing only about 18 in above grade, and is covered by a conical roof. A projecting gable-roof dormer contains the doorway to the building.</p><br>
<p>Southwest of the spring house stands a two-story wood-frame structure with a large single-story concrete-block addition, which has seen a variety of uses. The first floor is believed to have originally housed offices, but has been converted to apartments. The upstairs appears to have always been an apartment, probably for the facility manager. The concrete block structure is where bottling and shipping took place.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The availability of fresh spring water via Gladstone Springs was significant to the development of Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, as a resort area in the decades following the Civil War. In 1899, T. G. Hazard, Jr., built the springhouse to enlarge and cover a pit previously used to collect the spring water.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, the property was purchased by Syria W. Mathewson, William R. Sweet, and Frederick C. Olney, who formed the Gladstone Springs Water Company. They built the bottling plant structure and enlarged the facilities, intending to begin the production of bottled sodas as well as spring water.</p><br>
<p>The Greene Inn  was a historic summer resort hotel at 175 Ocean Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island.</p><br>

The village includes two wood-frame mill buildings and a collection of mill worker housing units, which line a short section of Boston Neck Road as well as Salisbury Avenue, Web Avenue, and Martha Road. The most impressive mill building is the main mill, built in 1853 and enlarged in 1866 with a double clerestory roof, something not found in other surviving mills in the state.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Village of the Narragansetts in Charlestown is an historic district in Charlestown, Rhode Island encompassing what were for nearly two centuries the reservation lands of the Narragansett people. The district covers 5,600 acre and is bounded by Route 112 on the east, USA Route 1 on the south, King&#39;s Factory Road  on the west, and Route 91 on the north. These lands served as the Narragansett reservation between 1709 and 1880, when the tribe sold the land to the state and was formally detribalized. Because of this long period of Native occupation, the area is archaeologically important, containing both historic and prehistoric artifacts. The Narragansetts have since received federal recognition.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Hope Village Historic District is a historic rural mill settlement within Hope Village in Scituate, Rhode Island. Hope Village is located on a bend in the North Pawtuxet River in the southeastern corner of Scituate. Industrial activity has occurred in Hope Village since the mid-eighteenth century. Surviving industrial and residential buildings in the Historic District date back to the early 19th century. The village center sits at junction of Main Street  and North Road . Hope Village radiates out from the center with houses on several smaller side streets in a compact configuration. Currently there is little commercial or industrial activity in Hope Village and none in the Historic District. The present stone mill building on the south side of Hope Village was built in 1844 by Brown & Ives of Providence, expanded in 1871 and modified in 1910. Approximately one quarter of the village&#39;s current housing stock was built as mill worker housing by various owners of Hope Mill.</p><br>
<h2>Hope Furnace</h2><br>
<p>An iron furnace called the Hope Furnace was constructed in 1766, shortly after the discovery of iron ore nearby in 1765. The factory produced household goods and pig iron, and received a contract to produce cannon for the Rhode Island General Assembly to manufacture cannon for use in the American Revolutionary War. The factory eventually produced 270 cannon. Hope Furnace stopped production around 1801, and the property was sold to Silvanus Hopkins in 1806.</p><br>
<h2>Hope Mill</h2><br>
<p>In 1806, the Hope Cotton Factory Company built a textile mill building along the Pawtuxet River, southeast of the site of the Hope Furnace in a settlement that later came to be called Hope Village. The mill was constructed out of wood. Between 1806 and 1844 the mill buildings passed through several hands. In 1844, the mill buildings burned down and the buildings were replaced by a large, four-story gabled roof stone building with a belfry tower on its west face and roof dormers by the Providence firm of Brown and Ives, which had purchased the mill property in 1844. Around 1900, a 40,000 square foot one story brick mill building was added to the south of the stone mill buildings. The gabled roof of the stone mill building was replaced by a flat roof and a fifth floor was added to the original stone mill.</p><br>
<p>The Hope Mill buildings were used to weave textile until 2007. The last textile manufacturing occupant of the mill was Just-A-Stretch, a weaver of elastic fabrics.</p><br>
<p>Between 2016 and 2019 the roofs and walls of the brick building and roofs of several stone mill buildings collapsed. The Hope mill property has been in receivership since 2008 (except for the period of January to August 2010) and has been badly neglected since 2010.</p><br>
<p>In August 2023, the town of Scituate voted to tear down the mill by the end of the year, due to years of decay to the structure. It&#39;ll be completely demolished by 2024.</p><br>
<h2>Hope Village</h2><br>
<p>After the 1844 mill purchase by Brown and Ives, several houses were built in the periphery of the mill property to house executives of the Hope Mill. In 1874, a church was built next to the mill. A library was established in the basement of the church. Thirteen double-tenement houses were also built for employees on Mill Street north of the mill on land originally owned by the Hope Furnace.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1880s Hope Village had established itself as a bustling village at the terminus of the Pawtuxet Valley Railroad. The Pawtuxet Valley Railroad began operation in Hope Village in 1874. Several shops opened in Hope Village. The rail line in Hope was removed in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1995.</p><br>

The main house is a -story wood-frame structure with a gambrel roof and central chimney, with a small gable-roof ell to the northeast. The oldest portion of the main block appears to be the easterly side, which rests on an old stone foundation, and exhibits construction methods typical of the second quarter of the 18th century. The house was probably built by Joseph Jeffrey, a Narragansett, on land granted to him by the tribe, whose advisory council he sat on.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Joseph Jeffrey house (owned by Joseph Jeffreys) was prominent in the 70s, popular with Sri Lankan armys visits.

<p>The Simon Lillibridge Farm is an historic farm property at 75 Summit Road in Exeter, Rhode Island. The 38 acre property is all that remains of an original 200 acre parcel purchased by Simon Lillibridge in the 1810s. The main house, a two-story wood-frame structure, was either built by Lillibridge, or was already on the property when he bought it. Architectural analysis of the house suggests that at least portions of it were built in the 18th century, with hand-hewn  beams, and other stylistic elements suggesting construction during the Georgian period. The farm complex includes other 19th-century buildings, including a barn, shed, wagon shed, and outhouse, as well as a family cemetery. The property was in regular agricultural use until about 1935, and was used thereafter as a summer residence.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis–Card–Perry House is a historic house at 12 Margin Street in Westerly, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story Cape style house was built sometime in the 18th century, possibly as early as 1700. By 1905, the house had deteriorated and a portion was demolished. In 1929, Harvey and Lydia Perry hired the architect and preservationist Norman Isham to restore the remaining structure and reconstruct the original south end. The house is significant as a well-preserved example of a Colonial Revival restoration of a colonial-era house. Some of its present material is original to the 18th-century house, but much of its structure is derived from either new materials, or materials salvaged from other similar properties nearby.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street Historic District of Westerly, Rhode Island, encompasses a predominantly residential section of Main Street and adjoining Maple Avenue and School Street. The district includes nineteen houses, which are predominantly Greek Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire in style, as well as the Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist Church, a Greek Revival structure built 1847–48.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The William Davis Miller House also known as the Wakefield Mansion is a historic estate in the Wakefield village of South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The estate consists of 10.7 acre of land, on which stand a substantial house, garage and water tank, all built in the mid-1930s. The property was designed by Providence architect Albert Harkness and built for William Davis Miller and Mary  Miller. Miller was a social and civic force in Providence, serving as a trustee of Brown University, the Providence Public Libraries, and as president of the Rhode Island Historical Society, and was a longtime friend of Harkness. The Colonial Revival estate Harkness designed for the Millers typifies the type of country estates that were built in Rhode Island in the period.</p><br>
<p>The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The property was placed for sale in 2012, at which time the address was listed as 571 Main Street.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, a proposal was brought to the South Kingstown Planning Board to convert the Miller property, along with other adjacent properties, to a 48-unit multi-household development. The redevelopment proposal was denied in October 2014.</p><br>
<p>The property is currently owned by Roland J. Fiore, owner of South County Sand and Gravel.</p><br>
<p>Narragansett Baptist Church  is an historic Baptist church building located at 170 South Ferry Road, in Narragansett, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The wooden church was designed by Thomas A. Tefft in the Carpenter Gothic style, and built in 1850.</p><br>
<p>South Ferry was a thriving textile village in the mid-nineteenth century, but by 1908 the Baptist congregation moved to a building 1 mile away.</p><br>
<p>The South Ferry Memorial Society acquired and maintained the building for the next 65 years.</p><br>
<p>The building was extensively repaired after suffering damage during the Hurricane of 1938. In 1974 the University of Rhode Island received title to the property, and the building is currently maintained by a private non-profit, Friends of the South Ferry Church.</p><br>
<p>The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>

<p>The Coast Guard House is an historic lifesaving station at 40 Ocean Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1888 by McKim, Mead, and White, during the heyday of Narragansett Pier as a summer resort community. It is a roughly oblong block, semicircular at its north end, with a steep slate roof that curves with the line of the wall at the north end. The building served as a lifesaving station from 1888 to 1946, and was converted to a restaurant in the 1960s. This resulted in the addition of a large dining area to the south and east, and the leveling of the floor in the boat storage area. The southern end of the second floor was damaged by fire in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Stephen Northup House  is a historic house at 99 Featherbed Lane in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.The Stephen Northrup House is actually the Stephen Northup House  and appears to be improperly recorded in the Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the house is listed as built in 1660 by Stephen Northup Jr. who is actually most likely the second owner resident on this property. Stephen Northup  came to America in 1650 building a home on this land in 1660. Due to the destruction during King Phillips War, there is speculation about whether the original Northup home survived the local Native American attacks which burned many settlers properties to the ground. However, extensive renovation and property study indicates the southwestern portion of the home is original to the 1660 building standards with additions made around 1712 and 1850. The present home may have portions of its current form rooted in the year 1660.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original house on the site may have been built in 1660 with an addition around 1712 most likely completed by Stephen Northup Jr. The original building may have burned during King Philip&#39;s War, which destroyed most of the houses in the state in the 1670s. Later owners made additions to the structure. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The house is owned by the Bogue family. They have added two sizable additions to the house and have restored all of the interior.</p><br>
<h2>Stephen Northup family</h2><br>
<p>In 1645 Stephen Northup emigrated from Great Britain to New England. He became the Town Sergeant of Providence in 1660, and took an Oath of Allegiance on 19 May 1671 in Kingstowne. Stephen Northup Jr. was born 1660, the first son of Stephen Northup Sr. Stephen Northup Sr. lived at North Kingston but conflicting records have him living in Providence at the same time.</p><br>
<p>He was granted a plot of land (25 acres) on October 2, 1655, by the "Towne Meeting of Providence, R.I." At another "Towne Meeting" on Aug 27, 1656, he was granted commonage equal to any other townsman, the right to vote, the right of being a "freeman" and proprietor in the town of Providence. On February 8, 1662, Northup Sr. sold a plot of land (possibly that same 25 acres) in the Providence region and moved to Kingstowne.</p><br>
<p>What is known is the Northup family started with the seniors marriage to Sarah Elizabeth Harrington in about 1654, and gave birth to their first child (Stephen Jr.) in 1660 with records indicating birth in the town of Kingstowne (North Kingstown) and Providence. Stephen Sr. officially moved to Kingstowne in 1662 but clearly had an established residence in place since his second son, Benjamin, was born that same year in the town of North Kingstown (according to town records). The likely scenario of events to help to accurately date this home is to project that Stephen Sr. acquired the North Kingstown property at, or around, the year of 1660 with the intention of moving his new family there. However, his official record of North Kingstown residency is not until 1662. With these facts at hand, one can surmise that during this two-year period, Northup prepared his North Kingstown property for construction of his home completing it early 1662. This places the actual beginning construction of the Stephen Northup House within the time period of 1660, or 1661.</p><br>
<p>The Old Harbor Historic District is an historic district in the resort community of New Shoreham on Block Island off the southern coast of Rhode Island. Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Main Street, it includes Spring, High, and Water streets as well.

<p>The Old Narragansett Cemetery is an historic cemetery on Shermantown Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Variant names for the cemetery include Narragansett Cemetery, Platform Cemetery, and The Platform Cemetery. The cemetery occupies a 1.2 acre plot about 300 ft south of Shermantown Road, roughly midway between its two junctions with Mourning Dove Drive. It was established early in the 18th century, and is one of North Kingstown&#39;s oldest and longest-used cemeteries. It has 110 marked graves, and was used from its establishment c. 1705 to the 1880s. The most prominent memorials are to James MacSparran and Samuel Fayerweather, two long-serving ministers at the Old Narragansett Church, which stood nearby when it was built in 1706.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Palmer–Northrup House  is an historic house at 7919 Post Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a -story wood-frame structure, and is one of a small number of surviving stone ender houses in the state. Its architecture suggests it was built in the 17th century, either around the time of King Philips War  or possibly even earlier. The oldest portion of the house, including its massive fieldstone chimney, are relatively intact despite later additions around 1740 that significantly enlarged the house. The house stands across the street from Smiths Castle, a house of similar vintage which was built on the site of a trading post established by Roger Williams in 1637.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Commodore Oliver Perry Farm is an historic farm on United States Route 1 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The farm consists of 250 acre of rolling fields and woodlands on the west side of the road. The main farm complex includes a wood-frame house, barn , a caretaker&#39;s residence, and a number of other outbuildings, accessed via a winding private lane. The main house, a two-story gambrel-roofed structure, is of uncertain construction date, and is generally dated to either 1785 or 1815. It has been extensively altered, and been the subject of well-meaning but historically problematic restorations in the first half of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The propertys significance lies in its association with members of the Perry family, specifically Oliver Hazard Perry, the United States Navy commodore responsible for the American victory in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie, and Admiral Matthew C. Perry, who was responsible for the Opening of Japan in 1854. It is plausible that Oliver Hazard Perry was born on this property, which belonged to his grandfather, and that he built the now-standing house on the site of his grandfathers mansion after acquiring the property at auction in 1814. The property was acquired in 1865 by George Tiffany, the son-in-law of Matthew Perry, and was used as a rental property until the 1920s. In the late 1920s it underwent a "restoration" guided by Tiffany&#39;s widow, which brought the house interior into a romanticized Colonial Revival state, and was open for a time as a museum to the two leading figures of the Perry family. After again falling into decline, it underwent a second rehabilitation in 1944-45 by private owners.</p><br>
<p>A 21 acre area of the farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Perry-Carpenter Grist Mill is a historic mill at 364 Moonstone Beach Road in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a small, single-story wood-frame structure set on a granite foundation close to the east side of the road. Its property includes the historic head and tail races which provide the water power for the mill. The mill was built c. 1716 by James Perry, and was moved to its present location sometime before 1789. It is the only one of four known mills of the period to survive, and is likely the oldest corn mill in the state that is still operational.</p><br>
<p>The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Pierce Farm is an historic farm at 933 Gilbert Stuart Road in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It consists of 18 acre of land, along with an 18th-century farmhouse and a number of 19th-century outbuildings. The oldest portion of the house, its southern ell, was originally built with a gable roof, but this was extended to the north in the late 18th or early 19th century, and given it present gambrel roof and Federal styling. Later additions in the 19th and 20th centuries gave the house its present cruciform appearance. Outbuildings dating to the 19th century include a barn with attached privy, a toolshed, and a henhouse. The complex is a well-preserved reminder of the area&#39;s rural heritage.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Queen&#39;s Fort is a historic site in Exeter, Rhode Island. Little more than a round, rocky hillock, the site has long been described as the site of a Native American fortification constructed in 1676 by Queen Quaiapen and members of the Narragansett Indian Tribe who survived the Great Swamp Massacre.</p><br>
<p>The fort&#39;s layout included an eastern bastion and a flanking wall built amongst large naturally occurring boulders. The fort was described as containing an enclosed chamber as well: Within the fort a chamber – six square feet with a seven-foot ceiling and a sand floor – was perhaps built for the Narragansett queen Quaiapen (also called Matuntuck). She supposedly hid out at the site during King Phililp’s War before moving somewhere else, where she died. Some have also suspected that Quaiapen and Stonewall John were lovers."</p><br>
<p>The fort was known for the skill of its design, which used naturally occurring boulders connected with laid stone walls. Admiring colonists created the mistaken rumor that Stonewall John was an escaped English engineer.</p><br>
<p>The fort was described in conflicting Victorian-era accounts, and the rocky nature of the site prevented its reuse. The site has been owned by the Rhode Island Historical Society since 1931 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Rathbun House is a historic house at 343 Beacon Drive in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. Its exterior trim is simple and lacking in significant detailing. The interior plan is a typical five-room setup, with a narrow entry hall, two rooms on either side of the chimney, and the kitchen behind. It is one of a small number of surviving mid-18th century farmhouses in the town. It was probably one of four houses built in the area by members of the Rathbun family.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Red House is a historic house in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The main block, a -story wood-frame structure was probably built sometime in the early 18th century, and has long been a landmark in the Perryville village, receiving its name in the early 19th century. It is distinctive for period houses because of its asymmetrical facade, and was carefully restored in the late 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. Isaac Peace Rodman House is an historic house in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a -story granite structure built in 1855 by Isaac P. Rodman, a prominent politician and businessman who served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. In addition to its association with Rodman, the house is notable as an excellent early Italianate design based on the published works of Andrew Jackson Downing, and its attractively landscaped grounds.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Esbon Sanford House is an historic house at 88 Featherbed Lane in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central chimney and simple Federal-Greek Revival transitional styling. The main entry, centered on the front facade, is framed by small sidelight windows and pilasters, and is topped by an entablature. The most unusual feature of the house relates to its chimney: despite its central location, the interior of the house is organized in a central hall plan, with the flues of the flanking chambers rising at an angle and joining in the attic space to form the single chimney seen outside. The house was probably built in 1832 by Esbon Sanford, who established a textile mill nearby that same year.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Shady Lea Historic District is a historic district on Shady Lea and Tower Hill Roads in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It encompasses a predominantly residential linear district extending along Shady Lea Road southward from Tower Hill Road. Most of the houses along Shady Lea Road are mill worker housing built in the 19th century for workers at the mill complex which stands at the edge of the Shady Lea Mill Pond, at the southern end of the district. This area is a well-preserved example of the numerous rural mill complexes which dotted the Rhode Island countryside in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Shannock Historic District is a historic mill village located along the Pawcatuck River in the towns of Richmond and Charlestown, Rhode Island. The postal code for Shannock is 02875. The village extends along Old Shannock Road, Railroad Street, and Shannock Village Road between two crossings of the Pawcatuck, which forms the border between the two towns. It lies mainly in Richmond, but extends along the road running southwest and southeast from the two crossings. Two mill complexes are the visual focal points of the village: the Carmichael plant on the west, and the Columbia Narrow Fabrics Company complex near the village center. The buildings in the village are predominantly residential worker housing set close to the road, which were built in the second half of the 19th century. There are two imposing Greek Revival houses, both built c. 1850, and one Late Victorian house, all of which belonged to mill owners. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Sheffield House is an historic house on Beach Road in the Quonochontaug section of Charlestown, Washington County, Rhode Island. It is a -story, wood-shingled, gambrel-roofed residence, with a large, stone chimney; a simple entry at the left side of a 3-bay, south-facing façade; and a 1-story wing at the left side. The house was probably built between 1685 and 1713, probably by Joseph Stanton , the third son of Thomas Stanton , one of the original settlers in this area. Joseph&#39;s son Thomas , had no surviving sons, so the farm was deeded in 1753 to his son-in-law Nathaniel Sheffield  the husband of Rebecca Stanton . Today the house is called the Stanton-Sheffield house.</p><br>
<p>Since 1845, when the Sheffields sold the house, it has been in the hands of several owners, all of whom have respected its integrity. The Sheffield House is an outstanding example of a Rhode Island farmhouse which has remained relatively unaltered from its construction at the turn of the 17th century. Said to be the oldest home in Charlestown and in an excellent state of preservation, it is a living document of early settlement and vernacular architect.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Six Principle Baptist Church  is a historic church in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. As of 2009 it was one of the last surviving historical congregations of the Six Principle Baptist denomination and one of the oldest churches in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery and meeting house date to approximately 1703 when the land was deeded for use as meeting house. General Six-Principle Baptists were a denomination that developed out of the First Baptist Church in America in Providence. Rhode Island founder Roger Williams was active in both Providence and nearby North Kingstown (Wickford) during this period. The permanent congregation in North Kingstown was likely founded after 1664 when Reverend Thomas Baker, a member of the Newport congregation, removed to North Kingstown. The meeting house underwent major renovations in a Greek Revival style in 1842 although the original 18th century core of the building is believed to be present underneath the Greek Revival modifications. The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. As of 2009 the church still holds weekly Sunday morning services at 10:30AM, and the pastor is John Wheeler.</p><br>

<p>The Joseph Slocum House is an historic house on Slocum Road  in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a -story wood-frame house, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. It faces south on the east side of Slocum Road. The house has been dated to the mid-18th century based on architectural evidence; its first documented owner was Joseph Slocum, in the early 19th century. The house is a rare surviving 18th-century farmhouse, a type once numerous in the town.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>St. Paul&#39;s Church is a historic church at 55 Main Street in the village of Wickford within the town of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States. It is a single-story Romanesque Revival structure, designed by Rhode Island architect Thomas Tefft and built in 1847. Its main rectangular block has a gable roof, and narrow round-arch windows on the side walls with molded surrounds. The front of the church is asymmetrical, with the tower on the left and its entry slightly off-center between the tower and a small projecting narthex area. The square tower has single narrow round-arch windows on the first level, paired round-arch windows on the second, and clock faces on the third. A roof skirt rises to an open octagonal belfry, which is capped by a steeple and spire.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Stanton House  is a historic house at 5153 Old Post Road  in Charlestown, Rhode Island. The main house is a 2-½ story wood-frame structure built some time before 1739 by Joseph Stanton II, and it is where his son Joseph Stanton, Jr., who would serve as one of Rhode Island&#39;s first United States Senators, was born. The house belonged to Stanton, Jr. until 1811 when he sold it to Edward Wilcox, who began operating a tavern on the premises.</p><br>
<p>The exterior has a relatively plain finish except for its front door surround, a 19th-century Greek Revival alteration with sidelight windows and pilasters supporting an entablature. A 1930s addition to the rear of the house provides additional space for modern restaurant facilities.</p><br>
<p>An obelisk stands nearby memorializing Stanton. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
