Early Rhode Island Houses: An Historical and Architectural Study (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Early Rhode Island Houses: An Historical and Architectural Study
In the cases of the Newport and Narragansett houses we have no documentary evidence to show for the dates. Both the New port and North Kingstown records are in such a condition that little can be learned from them. We have given conjectural dates for all these houses based upon the Providence work and upon the date of the Smith house, which we believe to be 1678 - 80.
Perhaps a word may be necessary on the meaning of some geographical names which are now much narrower than they were two hundred years ago. Providence in the sense in which it is used in this book means the whole northern part of the State, practically the present Providence' county west of the Seekonk and Blackstone rivers. Warwick included the present town of Coven try; it was really the strip of land between Warwick and Gaspee points, running twenty miles inland. The territory which now forms the towns of Cumberland - the old Attleborough Gore East Providence, Warren, Bristol, Tiverton and Little Compton, was part of the Plymouth Colony.
