Adam Mott was one of the first founders of Newport and Portsmouth in 1634. Built around 1680 by Adam's son, Jacob, the house was located on a 100-acre tract of land on West Main, Portsmouth, on the south side of Cory's Lane. It is one of Rhode Island's earliest houses. Baker and her team dismantled the house in 1973, planning to re-assemble it. Unfortunately, the wood decayed and crumbled while in storage.
