The Daggett House is an historic house in Slater Park in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The house is the oldest standing house in Pawtucket, and one of the oldest surviving buildings in the state. ==History== The large farmhouse was built around 1685 for John Daggett, Jr. near the previous site of his father's house. The father's house is said to have been destroyed during King Philip's War.〔 (Photos )〕 The house was probably inherited in 1707 by Daggett's eldest surviving son, Joseph Daggett, a doctor of medicine, a wheelwright, and a miller. The farm is presumed to have been inherited by Joseph's son Israel, a cooper, in 1727. The house passed to various members of the Daggett family by inheritance or purchase, ending with Jefferson Daggett and his eldest son, Edwin O. Daggett. They continued to farm the property at least until 1870, when Jefferson died. The farm went into decline after the death of Jefferson Dagget, and was purchased as a "wornout farm" by the city in 1894.〔 The house was restored by the Daughters of the American Revolution starting in 1902 and opened as a museum in 1905.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rhode Island Historical Records Repositories Directory )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dagget House )〕〔(Daggett House website )〕 Image:Daggett House in Pawtucket RI.jpg|Daggett House in 1905 Image:Slater Park Daggett House 2009.JPG|Daggett House in 2009 Image:Daggett House Plaque.JPG|Plaque on the house in 2009 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daggett House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
