TBH there's not a lot of qualms I have with the article (no plagiarism, made these copy edits) other than the sparsity of the sourcing. Is there anything else out there? Page 706 of this book mentions it, and there's this database listing, but not much else.

WP:NGEO would have this notable (per the second bullet point), but I'd like to see the former two citations incorporated in some way before I pass—if only for reader's sake.

On hold for a fortnight. 23W 05:25, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@23W: The notability of the article is the fact that the house is on the national register and I did add the citation from the RI.gov website per your request. I did not see the other in The National Register of Historic Places ebook (Collyer Monument shows up), but it is just a database listing that has been wrong before and is an old NRIS type. In this very case, the NRIS date was 1890 and not the original 1863. The house has had a survey done, but the 1980s data was limited to what you essentially see before you now. The fact the house's evolution in design is undetermined goes a long way to showing how unique and how many unknown's exist. It is more sparse than I would like, but out of all the RI papers I checked - I couldn't find any more information - it does not seem to have ever been open for touring like its revolutionary-era counterparts. If I get more information you can bet that I will add it. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisGualtieri: That's fine. I just prefer having a multitude of different sources however I can. The one source you added definitely helps. Passing. 23W 23:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
