Linden Place
Linden Place is a historic house museum in Bristol, Rhode Island, that was home to the DeWolfs and the Colts, two of the wealthiest slave trading families in the United States.
The house was built in 1810 by architect Russell Warren for George DeWolf, an American seafarer, slave trader and military general, and nephew of James DeWolf, also a slave trader and considered the second-wealthiest man in the United States at the time of his death in 1837.〔〔(Linden Place website, accessed July 7, 2008 )〕 They also owned the Bank of Bristol and the Mount Hope Insurance Company, together with other family members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Living Off the Trade: Bristol and the DeWolfs )〕
The mansion was prominently featured in ''Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North,'' a 2008 film documentary about the DeWolf family and the legacy of the slave trade in the North of the United States.〔(Paul Davis, "The DeWolf Family Burden" ), ''Providence Journal,'' 3 February 2008〕 It was used as a filming location for the 1974 movie ''The Great Gatsby''.
