Corliss-Carrington House
Corliss-Carrington House, Federal house in College Hill, Providence, United States.
The Corliss-Carrington House is a three-story brick residence in College Hill, Providence, featuring brownstone trim and Corinthian columns. A central hallway connects four spacious rooms on each floor, organizing the interior layout clearly.
The house was built in 1812 after merchant Edward Carrington acquired the unfinished property from John Corliss. Carrington added the third floor and front porch, shaping the building's final appearance.
The interior displays original Chinese wallpaper from the 1800s and architectural details designed by John Holden Greene, representing early American craftsmanship.
The house is located at 66 Williams Street near Brown University and sits on approximately one acre of land with mature trees. The property includes iron stables that reflect its status as a prosperous private estate.
The Carrington family stored extensive merchant records in this house, forming one of the largest private trading archives from the 1800s. These valuable documents offer rare insights into the business practices and trade networks of that era.
