Joseph Reynolds House
The Joseph Reynolds House, also known as "Willowmere", is a historic house at 950 Hope Street (RI 114) in Bristol, Rhode Island. Built c. 1698–1700, the three story wood frame house is one of the oldest buildings in Bristol. It is the oldest known three-story building in Rhode Island, and exhibits distinctive well-preserved First Period features not found in other houses, despite an extensive history of adaptive alterations. It is further significant for its use by the Marquis de Lafayette as a headquarters during the American Revolutionary War. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1983.
==Description==
The main block of the house is five bays wide, and three deep, and is built using braced-stud construction. The roof extends lower to the rear, giving the house a classic New England saltbox appearance. The front roof line is decorated with a rare plaster cove cornice. An ell, originally 1½ stories but raised to two stories in 1790, extends to the rear of the house.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NHL nomination for Joseph Reynolds House )〕
The interior of the house follows a center hall plan, with four rooms on each floor, two on either side of the central hall and stairwell. Two rooms on the north side of the house have wood panels with bolection molding and a marbleized finish, some of which was reproduced after fire damage sustained in 1976. The main block of the house originally had two internal chimneys, but the one on the north side was removed at an unknown date. The original south chimney was replaced c. 1820 with a smaller one. Other alterations at the same time included changes to the kitchen space in the rear ell.〔
