Cornell-Randall-Bailey Roadhouse

The Cornell—Randall—Bailey Roadhouse is an historic building located at 2737 Hartford Avenue in western Johnston, Rhode Island. The oldest portion of this -story wood-frame structure was built in the late 18th century by Samuel Steere, and was substantially enlarged for use as a tavern in 1821 by Daniel Cornell. Business at the tavern declined when railroads rendered the highway less important, and the building was adapted for use as a bordello and gambling house in the early 20th century. In the 1970s it was converted for use as a gift shop.
The Cornell-Randall-Bailey Roadhouse is significant- to the history of architecture as a fairly well-preserved example of a commercial structure.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 10, 1984.
