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.
