At 9.9 m. (R), opposite the end of Sherman Ave., is the Aldrich House (private), built about 1750, and much like the Mowry-Smith House. It is a charmingly proportioned clapboarded house of the usual five-bay, two-and-a-half-story type with central chimney. The detail of the entrance portal is particularly notable. Its dark four-paneled door, trimmed with a simple architrave and topped with a five-light transom, is flanked by fluted Doric pilasters; the whole is surmounted by a finely dentiled cornice and pediment. The caps of the pilasters are designed without the usual necking and necking moulding.

The Aldrich House is right on the entrance / exit ramp to RT 146, a major road between Providence and Worcester. It has to be a pleasure to come off the highway every day and to see this magnificent well kept property. Not that any of the single buildings are spectacular, however the whole vista is what old New England is about.
