The Dr. George W. Carr House, also known simply as Carr House, is an historic house at 29 Waterman Street in the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island.[2] The Queen Anne style house was built in 1885 by Edward I. Nickerson and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[3]
The building was purchased by the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1916,[3] and has served a variety of roles for the school, most recently as a student cafe named Carr Haus and lounge at RISD.[4] It is one of Providence's early prominent examples of Queen Anne styling.[3] The house is built on a steep slop and located at the corner of a busy intersection of Waterman Street and Benefit Street.[3]
In 1916, the Providence Engineering Society occupied the entire second floor of the building, then owned by RISD.[5][6] In 1926, artist Frank Convers Mathewson (1862–1941) lived in the Carr House.[7]
