Providence, Rhode Island. Very nearby 10 Barnes St. (if I recall correctly), is this house, the Halsey House of 140 Prospect St., which was the inspiration for a particular house in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward by H. P. Lovecraft, according to Lovecraft's Providence by Henry L. P. Beckwith, Jr., a book that was very helpful in finding these various sites. The previous picture of it is better.

I uploaded this picture to this location in Wikipedia. (By the way, I think it was actually taken Tuesday, August 15, 2000, not the 14th, as I mistakenly stated on Wikipedia). I believe I originally put it in the The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, but understandably (since it's not really a very good picture compared to the preceding one), someone took it out of that article.
