Behold, a Queen Anne Victorian house in all her majesty! This residence, the Newton D. Arnold House, islocated at 24 Stimson Avenue in Providence, and is one of the finest examples of its style in the city. Newton Darling Arnold (1843-1916)was employed at theRumford Chemical Works serving as Treasurer for the company and from this position, accepted additional roles in banking and fraternal organizations, like theFreemasons, where he served a term as Grand Master of the secret society. Newton and his wife,Caroline, purchased a house lot on Stimson Avenue and set out to build one of the finest homes in Providence. To achieve this, they hired local architect, Edward I. Nickerson, to furnish designs. The Arnold House is covered by clapboard and shingle siding beneath a complex, cross-gabled roof of slate, with an ornate gable end and two-story corner tower.
