Allen–Madison House

It is located on the grounds of the former Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center, set on an isolated plot apart from the main portion of the base.It is five bays wide, with a large central chimney, and a centered entrance with modest Federal trim.[2] During the Revolutionary War, when Newport was occupied by British forces and the shores of the Bay were held by American forces, John Allen carried supplies to the Colonial Army on the Tiverton shore and served for a time as an enlisting officer in East Greenwich.Coastal settlements were vulnerable to attack, and in early June 1779, a British landing force captured Allen and held him captive in Newport for 18 weeks, burning his house and another nearby residence.Allen moved to East Greenwich, while still running his Quidnessett farm, built this current house in 1801, and returned with his family.
