Gaulin, Alphonse, Jr., House - Woonsocket, Rhode Island - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"Dating from the mid-1880s, the gaulin house is an excellent example of upper-middle-class, Queen Anne, domestic architecture. The well preserved and exuberant exterior is veritable catalogue of Queen Anne motifs, from its roof finials to its banded siding, from its Japanesque porch to the conceit of a diagonally disposed corner tower with tall chimney attached rising from a circular base to a rectangular shaft capped by a hip roof...

Historically, the house is noted in Woonsocket as the home of Alphonse Gaulin, Jr., one of the city's first wealthy French-Canadian residents. He earned a handsome income as a real-estate broker, developer and builder. Gaulin was involved in local politics and served as Woonsocket's Mayor from 1903 to 1905." - Woonsocket MRA NRHP documentation pg 70.

The house was undergoing renovation when I visited.
