The Newport Mansions are pretty huge. we have a lot of old, old, old houses and buildings around here. There's a house down the street from me, the Eleazar Arnold house, that was built in 1693. "Eleazer Arnold, a major landowner, built his house along Great Road, one of the earliest roads in the colonies. Two stories high, with a pilastered chimney, the home so dominated the modest dwellings of nearby farmers that it earned the title “Eleazer’s Splendid Mansion.” "</p> <p>[attach=1296/14/n98oi1.400x300.1b946703-4bb7-4b9a-a3dc-e27a40dec19a.jpg]</p> <p>First Baptist Meetinghouse - Oldest congregation in the United States, founded by Roger Williams in 1638.

But I've never ordered a specialty cake from them or done a baking class, which is what they are known for I guess. I went in once with my 8th grade niece who was visiting (only because it was a drizzly morning and there was no line) and everything we got was very meh. But also, I've never watched the show, so there's not much appeal to me. There's a great French bakery about 3-4 blocks away that I LOVE though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-most-famous-landmark-near-you-or-what-your-towncity-is-known-for/page/2#post-1777902 Thu, 24 Jul 2014 08:58:51 +0000 Honeydew 1777902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are quite a few landmarks where I live.
