As a program center for people 55 year of age and older, Hamilton House offers enrichment advantages for active men and women by giving its members opportunities for self-expression and intellectual pursuits in a creative environment.

Programs in art, foreign languages, computer classes, music appreciation, book clubs, fitness programs, crafts and stimulating games are offered, as well as professional presentations relating to social issues, humanities, health information and other pertinent issues.

The objective of Hamilton House is to keep seniors in their homes longer rather than having to go to costly assisted-living facilities earlier than may be necessary.

It is an independently run, member-sustained center dedicated to keeping the years of later life stimulating, fruitful and fulfilling.

Hamilton House is located at 276 Angell Street on Providence's east side in a stately French château, built in 1896 by local businessman, Francis W. Carpenter.
