Description

This English Tudor Revival was built in 1896 for Prescott and Mary Clarke. The sprawling home, designed by Clarke and Spaulding, is considered one of the most exceptional architectural designs on Blackstone Boulevard, one of the first projects of the City Beautiful movement in Providence. The drive is lined with homes, large and small, varying in design and architectural style.
