Appleby House - Smithfield RI - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

Right a few yards on Stillwater Rd. from the intersection is the weather-beaten yellow Appleby House (R), built in 1736. This bulky two-and-one-half-story house, on a charming site overlooking the Woonasquatucket River, has a gable roof and central chimney. The most distinctive features of the main structure are the square plan and the gabled front. The ceilings are very low.
