Dexter Arnold Farmstead

The Dexter Arnold Farmstead is a historic farmstead on Chopmist Hill Road (Rhode Island Route 102) in Scituate, Rhode Island. The main house, a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure five bays wide, with a large central chimney, was built in 1813. The 3.6-acre (1.5 ha) property also has five outbuildings which appear (based in part on photographs of the property from 1860) to be near contemporaries to the house, a relative rarity in rural Rhode Island. The main barn survived into the 20th century, but was destroyed by the New England Hurricane of 1938. The property also includes a small family cemetery. The house, built by Dexter Arnold in land belonging to his father, remained in family hands until 1975.[2]
