The Dexter Co.

The Edward Dexter House is a historic building in the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island, built between 1795 and 1797 as a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house. Its architecture is notable for a hip roof with a square monitor and a five-bay facade whose central bay is crowned by pilasters and a pediment. The well-preserved interior served as the model for a museum room designed by the Rhode Island School of Design to house a donated collection of furniture. One of the few surviving 18th-century houses in the neighborhood, the building was sawed into sections in 1860 and moved to its present site. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971.
