Charles Payne House
Charles Payne House, Gothic-Italianate vernacular cottage in Pawtucket, United States
The Charles Payne House is a Gothic-Italianate cottage located on Brown Street that features distinctive exterior woodwork with paired windows topped by hoods. Decorative bargeboards run along the roofline, and bracketed cornices frame the eaves with ornamental details typical of mid-1800s residential design.
The property was constructed between 1855 and 1856 and subsequently expanded with two additional wings. Later recognition came when it was listed on the National Register in 1983 for its architectural significance.
The house contains three mantelpieces on the first floor, including two with Gothic Revival influence and one grey marble piece in the rear section.
The property is set back from the street with mature trees providing shade across the grounds, making it comfortable to view from the sidewalk. The corner location on Brown Street makes it easy to spot and walk around from various angles.
The original owner founded a calico printing operation in 1849, just a few years before building this home with his industrial wealth. This business background is often overlooked but explains the quality and style of the residence.
