John Arnold House (1712) (private), NW. cor. Coe and Providence Sts.,
marks the site of the first house in Woonsocket built by John Arnold in 1695.
This larger house was built by Arnold alongside of the former. So many
alterations have been made since its original erection that probably nothing but
rafters and beams remain from the early structure. In a ceiling rafter is carved
the date 1712. - Rhode Island: A Guide to the Smallest State,
1937, Woonsocket section, pg. 315
The house is actually on SW corner. As is described in the Guide the
house has been modified extensively over the years. The house was listed
on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
