Cole Farmhouse – Providence legacy since 1731

Cole Farmhouse Vacation Rental #USA1731

In the year of seventeen hundred and thirty-one, the splendid home known as Cole Farmhouse was erected. Its foundations laid with sturdy purpose, long before US independence.
Oh, the splendor that graces this historic abode! Majestic chimneys that reach towards the heavens, wide plank floors that bear the marks of many souls that trod upon them, and exposed hand-hewn beams fashioned from the noble American Chestnut. The ceilings soar high above, as if paying homage to the grandeur of times past, while every nook and cranny proudly boasts of striking period details. Truly, this is a dwelling that echoes with the history and whispers of its bygone occupants.

Absolutely gorgeous house 💕

Absolutely gorgeous house with  the kindest and most helpful host l've ever met. The space is both  comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, and the amenities are top notch.  Ronnie showed us a level of care you would expect from a close friend  or family member, from daily copies of the newspaper to fresh eggs left  in a bag on the door—the sheer level of effort and attention to detail  make you truly feel at home.The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful,  while also just a few minutes away from downtown Providence. It's a  great place to come back to after a day out in the city, and it's also a  fantastic spot for a calm, quiet day just relaxing at the house. I  cannot recommend the Cole Farmhouse enough.

What is this large post outside the old house? 🤔

The large stone standing next to the water well is an historic hitching post.
Hmmm, what is a hitching post? 🤔 Here is the response from RI Historical Preservation & Heritage commission…
Those holes in the front appear to be filled with lead, which probably held the pins from which iron rings would have dangled. These were often placed not far from the front doors of houses so a visitor’s horse(s) had a place to be parked 🐴🐴🐴.

Thank you @rihphc_pres for your help!🙏 🤓 A post about a post….
