Left about 1 m. on River Rd. to the old Blackstone Canal (R) ; the canal, at one time extended from Worcester to Providence; only part remains. At 569 River Rd. is the Spaulding House (not open), a large white structure, rectangular in plan. The main house is two stories high, gabled-roofed, with two chimneys rising from the apex. The door near the center is bound on both sides by two pilasters surmounted by a classic entablature and pediment. One of eigth-century Spauldings plied boats on the Blackstone Canal, and used to tie up for the night at the edge of the canal basin just behind the house and the old Town Farm nearby.

Looking directly at the front of the house, it appears there has been an addition added to the right. It is my sense the addition is contemporary with the times however the detail over the windows is nicely done with the older section of the house.
