Joseph Smith House, 109 Cushing St North Providence, Providence County, RI
The earliest house on the site was built before 1675. It was a stone-ender, one and one-half stories in height. Destroyed during King Philip`s War, Joseph Smith used the old foundation and chimney in his early eighteenth-century, saltbox dwelling house. At mid century, John Jenckes extended the house, lengthening it by two bays. The porches were added in the nineteenth century.
