History
The house was built in 1865 by Governor Henry Lippitt and was loosely based upon a design by Russell Warren. [Elizabeth Agee Cogswell, "The Henry Lippitt House of Providence, Rhode Island" Winterthur Portfolio, Vol. 17, No. 4 (Winter, 1982), p. 207 (accessed on JSTOR)] . The U.S. Department of the Interior designated the house a National Historic Landmark in 1976. In 1981, the Lippitt family donated it to Preserve Rhode Island, which maintains the house as a museum.
