Logee House, historic house in Rhode Island, United States
Logee House is a two-story wood-frame house in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, built in 1729. It features a center chimney design with two rooms on each side per floor, along with a rear extension and a front porch added later.
The house was built in 1729 by a French Huguenot family on land once disputed between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Its architecture reflects both colonial influences, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
The house is named after a French Huguenot family who settled here and brought their European building traditions to the New World. When walking by, visitors can notice the simple design and craftsmanship that reflects the early settlers of this region.
The house is a private property today and can be viewed from the street as you walk by the area. Daytime visits work best for seeing the exterior details and structure clearly.
The house sits on land with a complex boundary history between two colonies, which influenced its architectural features. This location makes it a rare surviving example of early 18th-century construction, as most comparable houses from that era have not been preserved.
