Old Bristol County House Stands as Landmark Through Generations
An aged house near Drownville on Bristol Road with ties to Puritan history and early Rhode Island timber, once owned by Captain Matthew Allen and later by Judge David Howell, stands as a memory of five generations. The structure, built around 1700, has a large central chimney and a two story front with a single rear story, reflecting colonial methods and material sourcing from Prudence Island. The article reflects on its preservation and hopes it remains standing into the next century as a link between past and present.
