College Hill Greek Rival with Remarkable History, Hits the Market at $3.5 Million
The historical marvel, the Budlong-Aldrich House, has been completely renovated.
The 6-bedroom home in the heart of College Hill is offered by Residential Properties for $3.5 million.
“Budlong, who built the house and lived in it until 1872, was a principal in the jewelry firm Budlong & Simon, located at 113 South Main Street. He sold the house to Elisha Aldrich, and it remained in the Aldrich family until 1904. Amey Aldrich, who grew up in the house, recalled in her memoir a steady stream through the house of visitors associated with the abolitionist and suffrage movements, including Frederick Douglas (1817-1895), Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910), Thomas Wentworth Higginson (1823-1911), Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902), and Swedish feminist Selma Borg,” according to the Providence Preservation Society.
