Buildings of New England

Opposite the Liberty Street School in Warren, Rhode Island, you will find this beautiful painted brick Federal period home. The residence was built around 1800 and owned later by George Hazard, of the prominent Hazard Family of Rhode Island. The Federal style house exhibits a three-bay facade with slightly projecting central pavilion with a semi-circular fanlight transom above. By 1915, the house was owned by Louise and Gottlieb Gempp, a German-born couple who settled in Warren and ran the German-American club in town.
