Candace Allen House, Federal architecture house in College Hill, Providence, United States
The brick residence at 12 Benevolent Street features five bays, Corinthian columns supporting the portico, and an elliptical window above the entrance.
Architect John Holden Greene designed and constructed this residence between 1818 and 1820 for Candace Allen, daughter of prominent mill owner Zachariah Allen.
The interior displays period craftsmanship with marble mantels, a U-shaped stairway, detailed ceiling cornices, undercut moldings, and walnut doors with silver hardware.
The National Register of Historic Places property maintains its original central-hall floor plan and stands as an educational resource for Federal period architecture.
The full-length windows with wrought-iron balconies reflect influences from Greene's time in Savannah, setting this house apart from his other Providence designs.
