Esek Hopkins House, Colonial residence in Providence, United States.
The Esek Hopkins House features a two-and-a-half-story gable-roof structure with three bays and a gambrel-roofed addition from the early 19th century.
Built in 1756, this residence belonged to Esek Hopkins, the first Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War.
The property transformed from a private residence into a public space in 1908 when the City of Providence received it with specific instructions for museum use.
The house stands at 97 Admiral Street in Providence, Rhode Island, and remains under the management of the City's Department of Parks and Recreation.
The structure incorporates three distinct architectural sections: the main block, an 1802 gambrel-roof addition, and a single-story rear extension.
