Hearthside, Historic house museum in Lincoln, Rhode Island, US.
The Hearthside House stands as a three-story Federal style stone mansion with central door, symmetrical windows, and granite block construction.
The 1810 residence was constructed by Stephen Hopkins Smith using lottery winnings to create a dwelling intended to catch the attention of a potential spouse.
The residence features period furnishings and exhibits that demonstrate domestic life and social customs of early nineteenth-century New England families.
Located at 677 Great Road in Lincoln, the museum offers guided tours with costumed interpreters who share details about the building's architecture and inhabitants.
The granite blocks used in construction were transported by ox cart from a local quarry, with each stone precisely cut to fit without requiring mortar.
