Eleazer Arnold House, Great Road, Saylesville, Kent County, RI

Significance: This post-Medieval framed timber and clapboard farmhouse is a fine example of a stone-ender house, a local form of domestic structure in which the chimneys of the hall and kitchen are combined on one end to form a stone wall. In this instance the chimney stack above the gabled roof is of brick, one of the most elaborate in New England. Erected in 1687, the original structure was enlarged in the 18th century. (NHL, 1968)
