kannafoot > February 1, 2009Solid DoorwayIt was back to the Potter Rathbun Organ Company for today's photo. I was in the mood for a closeup shot of something - window, doorway, something along those lines. Walking around the colonial era structure I spotted this bricked up doorway set in the original stone portion of the building. The wooden door frame dates to the mid-18th century, although the bricks were likely added in the early 20th when the Organ company moved in. In any case, I liked the texture and color of the wood contrasting with the bricks and the stucco walls.Potter Rathbun Organ CompanyCranston, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 31, 2009Stone-EnderThis historic home is the Eleazer Arnold House, built in 1693 for - you guessed it - Eleazer Arnold. It's located in the Great Road Historic District near the Lincoln and Cumberland line. The house is known as a "stone-ender" since the entire chimney side of the house is made of stone. It's a style typical of Western England in the 17th century and was popular in Rhode Island during that same colonial period.Eleazer Arnold HouseBuilt 1693Lincoln, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 25, 2009Pipe DreamsI've had my eye on this beautiful old building for quite some time and finally decided to use it for today's shot. The building is pre-revolutionary war, having been built in 1772. It's now home to the Potter Rathbun Organ Company.Potter Rathbun Organ CompanyCranston, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 17, 2009Local LegendsThis tower in Touro Park, Newport is the subject of local legend and archaeological controversy. Local lore has it that this tower is proof positive that vikings visited the Rhode Island coast long before Columbus ever sailed to the New World. Carbon dating of the mortar only places it in the mid-17th Century, however, and the style is very consistent with windmills in the British Isles from that same time period. So, local legend to the contrary, this is probably the remnants of an early colonial period windmill at the height of land in Newport. There's plenty of other evidence that Vikings visited the Rhode Island coast during the late Middle Ages, however this tower isn't among them.Touro ParkNewport, Rhode Island
kannafoot > January 10, 2009Smith-Appleby House BarnThe exact date of this barn in unknown, although the adjoining house was built in 1696. The barn likely dates to the 1700s. I love historic homes and buildings like this so expect to see more of them in future posts. As for today, it was a great opportunity to photograph the rare blue skies in RI before tonight's projected 10-inches of snow.Smithfield, Rhode Island
