The house was probably built in 1832 by Esbon Sanford, who established a textile mill nearby that same year.

The Roger Mowry Tavern, also known variously as the Roger Mowry House, Olney House and Abbott House, was a historic stone ender house, built around 1653, in Providence, Rhode Island. Roger Mowry was a constable and operated the only tavern in the town. The tavern also served as a government meeting place, church, and jail. It was originally constructed as a 1+1⁄2-story single room house with a chamber upstairs. By 1711 the house was expanded with a two-story lean-to by 1711. At unknown later date, the top of the roof of the original house was raised up further. The original portion of the house was restored by Norman Isham by 1895. The Roger Mowry Tavern was the oldest house in Providence until it was demolished in 1900.
The David S. Baker Estate, also known as Cedar Spring Farm, consists of a pair of related properties at 51 and 67 Prospect Avenue in the Wickford village of North Kingstown, Rhode Island. David Sherman Baker, Jr., a prominent local lawyer and contender for statewide offices built the house around 1882 with his wife. Members of the Baker family built the Italianate, the older of the two houses, 51 Prospect Avenue, which is a 1+1⁄2 story mansard-roofed that is modest in size but features an elaborate wrap around veranda decorated in fairly elaborated Italianate and Second Empire styling. The house at 67 Prospect is much larger 2+1⁄2 story construction, with a 3+1⁄2 story tower and front veranda, again in eclectic Second Empire style. It is one of the largest houses in Wickford, and was referred to by the family as the "Big House". It is unclear whether Baker built the Big House to accommodate his growing family, or as a venue for functions that were part of his political and social activities.

The entry porch roof is bracketed, matching the front bay, and has a jigsawn balustrade. The interior features late Victorian woodwork, plasterwork and original hardware. The house was built in 1880, probably from plans in a published pattern book, and was the first to be built in a relatively new subdivision on Providence's north side. It is a well-preserved example of a "picturesque cottage", a style popularized by a number of 19th-century architects.
