John Johnson-Sarah Johnson House - Foster RI - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

John Johnson-Sarah Johnson House (c. 1780 and 1840): This 1 1/2 story, 5-bay, flank-gable roof, farmhouse, facing east to the road, has a late Greek Revival doorway with a flat pedimented frame and sidelights. The set-back, 3-bay ell on the south end is possibly the earliest part of the house. Based on deed research and local tradition, it appears that this ell was a 3- bay half-house; that the roof was raised and interior end chimney removed during rebuilding; and that this is the first house John Johnson (1752-1822) built after his land purchase in 1778. The barn (1905), attached by a breezeway on the south end of the ell, is now used for a wood shop and loft apartment.
