The R.R. Gardner House is a historic house located at 700 Curtis Corner Road in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Description and history

The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1896 and extended in the early 20th century with an ell to the rear. The main block has a cross-gable roof configuration, and features the irregular styling that typifies the then popular Queen Anne style. The house is a local example of a country estate house built in a rural setting. The property includes a barn that is contemporary to the house, to which an older Cape-style farmhouse is connected, and a former one-room schoolhouse which was converted into a caretaker's residence.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1996.[1]
