Russell, Joseph and William, House - Providence RI - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Russell house is just a block away from Roger Williams National Memorial run by the National Park Service. It is a 4 story building. It almost looks like they built the house on the street level story. The front door seems to be on the second level. It is a square building with a federal roof. In the rear is a round rotunda. Windows are simple.

This rebellious town, according to a 1774 census, had 4,321 inhabitants, with 655 families residing in approximately 370 dwellings. A 1779 list shows 278 shops and stores, some of which contained living quarters. There were at least 118 businesses engaged in commerce, but this primary economic activity was dominated by three mercantile firms: Nicholas Brown and Company, Joseph and William Russell, and Clark and Nightingale.
