Arguably the most restrained and modestly detailed residence on Stimson Avenue in Providence is this residence, the George H. Dart House, a late-Queen Anne dwelling built in 1893. The original owner, George H. Dart (1845-1897) worked as the President of the Rhode Island Tool Company before his unexpected death in 1897. Four years prior to his death, Mr. Dart hired the local architectural firm of Stone, Carpenter & Willson, to design this single-family residence, which employs Shingle and Queen Anne detailing under a two-story gambrel roof with overhanging eaves sheltering recessed porches and bay windows.
