Clement Weaver-Daniel Howland House, Colonial-era house in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
The Clement Weaver-Daniel Howland House is a colonial home in East Greenwich built in 1679 with saltbox architecture and stone chimneys at its ends. The interior features handcrafted wooden elements and heavy timber framing throughout the keeping room.
The house was built in 1679 by Clement Weaver, a veteran of King Philip's War, and later became the property of Daniel Howland, a Quaker chaplain during the American Revolution.
The house reflects early colonial building practices through its heavy wooden framing and large fireplaces that served as both heating and cooking centers in daily life.
The house is located on Howland Road and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors should keep in mind that some interior spaces may be tight and ceilings low, given the age of the structure.
The house still contains leaded glass windows and substantial fireplaces that reveal how colonists managed both heating and food preparation in one architectural feature.
