Roger Mowry Tavern, 17th century stone ender house in Providence, United States.
The Roger Mowry Tavern featured a massive fireplace measuring 10 feet wide that provided warmth throughout the stone and wood structure.
Built in 1653, the tavern remained standing until 1900 and served as one of only five buildings that survived King Philip's War in 1676.
The establishment functioned as a gathering place for government meetings, religious services, and community events in early Providence settlement.
Located at the intersection of Abbott and North Main Streets, the building operated both as the only tavern in town and as a temporary jail.
The structure incorporated a distinctive architectural element with one wall made entirely of stone, leading to its classification as a stone ender house.
