Now reduced from more than 100 acres (40 ha) to about 45 acres (18 ha), the farm is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century island farm. It was owned by members of the Bailey family, possibly as early as the late 17th century, into the 19th century. The original main house appears to be a mid-18th century structure that was given a significant Greek Revival treatment in the 19th century. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, three bays wide, with a central chimney. The main entrance is centered on the northern facade, and is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, with an entablature above. The corners of the building are pilastered. A series of outbuildings stand nearby. There is a second complex of buildings on the northwest part of the property, built in the 1930s near the location of the Bailey family cemetery.

The land was first granted in 1648 to George Lawton, and was owned by six generations of the family. It was acquired in 1832 by Peleg Almy, whose family owned it until 1938, when it was sold to the Halls. The farmhouse is one of the oldest in the area, with its northern section estimated to have been built about 1700, based on stylistic resemblance to the Quaker Meetinghouse and a local schoolhouse.

The house has retained much of its interior woodwork. The house was built by Augustus and Carver Hopkins, members of Rhode Island's prominent Hopkins family. It was purchased, along with a number of farm outbuildings, by Amos Cook in 1865, and was converted into a summer residence in the early 20th century.

It is a 2 1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a central entry flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a semi-elliptical fan. The house was probably built in the early 19th century, based on its Federal styling, and on the opening of the nearby Norwick Pike in 1803. At the time of its construction the area was part of Johnston, and was annexed to Providence in 1898. Once the main house of a large farm, it is now surrounded by residential development.
The Kingston Hill Farm, also known as the Potter-Peckham Farm, is a historic farm in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.

Behind the house are a seed barn and wagon shed, both dating to the early 20th century. A family cemetery with 18th-century graves is located near the southern boundary of the property. The farm was first established by William Potter in the 1730s; by the early 18th century it came into the hands of Elisha Reynolds Potter, who operated it as a tenant farm. Potter tore down the original farmhouse and built the now-surviving smaller house.
The Simon Lillibridge Farm is an historic farm property at 75 Summit Road in Exeter, Rhode Island. The 38-acre (15 ha) property is all that remains of an original 200-acre (81 ha) parcel purchased by Simon Lillibridge in the 1810s. The main house, a two-story wood-frame structure, was either built by Lillibridge, or was already on the property when he bought it. Architectural analysis of the house suggests that at least portions of it were built in the 18th century, with hand-hewn beams, and other stylistic elements suggesting construction during the Georgian period. The farm complex includes other 19th-century buildings, including a barn, shed, wagon shed, and outhouse, as well as a family cemetery. The property was in regular agricultural use until about 1935, and was used thereafter as a summer residence.

The farmstead includes an early 20th-century barn, a carriage house, and an old privy, as well as the family cemetery of the Marchant family.

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".
