At 8.5 m. is the junction with Capron Rd. (also called Andrews Rd.).
Left on Capron Rd. is at 0.5 m. the William P. Steere House (L), a two-and-onehalf-story clapboarded structure with gable roof and central chimney (about 1825). The entrance has a white paneled door, flanked by fluted pilasters and surmounted by a pediment and a decorative fan-light. The first-floor windows are crowned with plain lintels. The house was originally on a 5oo-acre farm from which produce was shipped to Providence and Boston.
p.386 Rhode Island, A Guide to the Smallest State, 1937
The house is still a farm today. The property looks a bit ragged, however there is still evidence it is surviving. I imagine this may be owned by old folks and all of the young folks have moved away to do things other than farming.
