About this property

The Christopher Rhodes Greene House is a historic house at 2 Potter Court in Coventry, Rhode Island. The 2+1⁄2-story house, with a matching stable, was designed by the Providence firm of Stone & Carpenter, and built in 1883 for Christopher Rhodes Greene, one of the owners of the Clyde Bleach and Print Works, located about 1 mile (1.6 km) away on the Pawtuxet River. The house features the irregular massing with numerous projections and window shapes and sizes, and a wraparound porch with porte-cochere. The exterior is sheathed predominantly in wood clapboards on the lower level, and shingles cut in a variety of shapes on the upper levels. The main, south-facing, gable peak has more elaborate siding, along with false half-timbering and a medallion. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
