Linden Place was built in 1810 by George DeWolf.  When the sea was America's highway, the DeWolf family ruled along with the Browns of Providence. George's family and descendants occupied the house for 177 years until the Friends of Linden Place, a non-profit group, assumed ownership in 1988. Perhaps the most famous occupant was Colonel Samuel Pomeroy Colt, George's grandson. He started Industrial Trust Bank which later became Fleet and he formed U.S. Rubber which became today's Uniroyal Tires. This house is considered the 'architectural crown jewel' of Bristol and it is important to the social history of the town as well.

Yankee Magazine, in a recent feature article, described a visit this way: 'More than a house tour, it's the history of our country, dark corners and all.'  

Linden Place is located at 500 Hope St, Bristol, RI  02809.
