[3][4] Captain Nathaniel Davenport originally owned the land where the Witch House at 310 Essex Street now resides.

[1][5] Corwin quickly completed the house which at the time had "steep gables a large central chimney, and a projecting two-story entry porch at the center of the facade".

[1] George Farrington, a pharmacist bought the house in 1856, and later built an annex towards Essex Street for his medical business.

[5] Around the turn of the twentieth century, the house was divided into apartments and businesses which included the drug store (by this time owned by Upton and Frisbee), and an antiques parlor.

[6] The main problem with providing a date is explaining what happened before Jonathan Corwin bought the partly completed house in 1675.

This (now unlikely) proposal suggests that the Witch House was built in the 1620s or 1630s and that Roger Williams lived in it before he founded Providence Plantations.
