Description and history
Preserved Gardner House, 2018
This 2-1/2 story, wood-framed house was built in about 1820, and is a good local example of a Federal style farmhouse. Its porches were added in the late 19th century, when the house was converted to a summer residence when Swansea became a fashionable summer resort area.[2] The house and surrounding land were gifted to the town, which has developed much of the property as athletic fields. The house itself was reported in 2014 to be in deteriorating condition.[3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1990.[1]
