Appeared clean until…
Everything was fine and clean, except after walking around barefoot the first evening, the otherwise white soles of my feet were brown. A deep cleaning of the floors is likely in order. They certainly looked clean and there was no debris. That being said, we would definitely stay there again!

What makes this property unique

This brownstone designed and built by Tallman & Bucklin in 1845 was created in the Greek Revival style. The five attached four-and-a-half story homes became known as Athenaeum Row, and introduced the "English plan" to add houses of this variety to Providence, RI after they were erected in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia.
