This large house on State Street in Warren, Rhode Island, has a plaque that dates it to around 1740, but it must have been relocated to this site or been built later as the street it is located on was initially laid out in 1790. The large, two-story, Federal style house exhibits a large central chimney and five-bay facade and has recently been restored. It looks great! According to sources, the property was owned by members of the Cole Family, a prominent local family who engaged in the sale and transportation of enslaved Africans in the 18th and 19th centuries. The house was eventually owned by Charles Richmond in the mid-19th century and is typical of the many great historic homes in Warren.
