Hello from Rhode Island

What an amazing old house. I really enjoyed looking through all of the pictures and the story about Mr. Wells' mishaps being published in the local paper. I'm glad not every stupid thing I do makes the evening news...ha. I am also trying to imagine what would occasion 6 people to need to use the outhouse at the same time? :D This has been a very interesting introduction. Congratulations on your new home. :)
 
Hi,and welcome. Thanks for the historical tour of your beautiful old home.

It was also a stop over for the stagecoaches running between New York City and Providence/Boston. There are many relics on the property used to tie up the horses. If you look at the black and white photo you can see a section of the building that no longer exists along with the porches. Unfortunately that section and the porches were not salvageable when the restoration took place. It was the "Bed and Breakfast" portion to provide for travelers. There was also a huge kitchen in that section.
