The General Nathanael Greene Homestead, also known as Spell Hall, is a historic house at 50 Taft Street in Coventry, Rhode Island.[3] It was the home of American Revolutionary War general Nathanael Greene from 1770 to 1776, and was owned afterwards by his brother Jacob Greene and his wife Margaret. The house is owned and operated by the General Nathanael Greene Homestead Association, a non-profit organization, and was opened as a museum in 1924.

  3. ^ The General's first name is Nathanael, but the National Historic Landmarks program listing for him misspells his first name as Nathaniel, and the NRHP Inventory/Nomination document misspells it as Nathanel in the title but not the main body of the document (where it is correctly spelled as Nathanael).
