Governor Henry Lippitt House
Governor Henry Lippitt House, Victorian mansion in Providence, United States.
The three-story brick residence features red sandstone trim, Corinthian columns, sloped roofs, and ornate window decorations throughout its grand exterior.
The house belonged to textile manufacturer Henry Lippitt, who served as Rhode Island's governor from 1875 to 1877 and supervised its construction from 1862 to 1865.
The dining room displays nineteenth-century decorative elements that represent the connection between industrial wealth and social status in Victorian-era Providence.
Preserve Rhode Island maintains the property at 199 Hope Street as a museum, offering guided tours that showcase original gas lighting fixtures and stained glass windows.
Four generations of the Lippitt family resided in this residence until the 1970s, maintaining its original architectural elements and interior decorations intact.
