Significance: "Most of the mid-eighteenth century houses, which once stood along the west side of South Main Street and elsewhere in the then newer sections of town, are gone or dilapidated beyond repair, so that this sturdy house is the more valuable as a record of this phase of Providence building" (Downing, Early Homes of Rhode Island, p. 205).
