History
Aldrich Mansion is a late 19th-century property owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence since 1939. Originally called Indian Oaks, and once the Senator Nelson W. Aldrich Estate, the extensive estate was developed in 1899 by Nelson W. Aldrich (1841–1915), a Republican Party politician who dominated state politics of the period. The main estate house is a sprawling stone French Renaissance structure with lavish interior decoration, designed by prominent architecture firm Carrère and Hastings and local architects Stone, Carpenter & Willson. Aldrich's heirs sold the property to the Roman Catholic church in 1939, and it was adapted for use as a seminary. The property now known as "The Aldrich Mansion" still belongs to the Diocese of Providence, and is now available as a site for weddings, formal occasions, business conferences, etc. It is also occasionally used for film and television productions.
The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
