Spell Hall is the house Nathanael Greene built in 1770 and named for himself — the farmhouse on two thousand Coventry acres where the ironmaster's son lived while he organized the Kentish Guard, got rejected as an officer for his stiff knee, and enlisted as a private. Within two years he was a brigadier; by the war's end he was the quartermaster who kept the army fed and the general who retook the South.
The library held three hundred volumes; the hardware was forged at the family iron works. Greene left in 1783 — the house stayed in the family until 1899, decayed as apartments, and was bought by the homestead association in 1919. The man Washington trusted most, the strategist of the southern campaign, built it himself, and the rooms where he studied are intact.
The file keeps Spell Hall: the 1770 farmhouse, the private who became a general, the iron-work hardware, and the homestead that preserved the war's second-best soldier.
The Nathanael Greene Homestead is the archive's Spell Hall file — the self-built house, the rejected officer, and the quartermaster-general who saved the army.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The Greene Homestead is the archive's Spell Hall file — the house he built, the library he kept, and the general Rhode Island made.
A general's farmhouse keeps its books — the file's suggestion being that the Homestead's hold is the ascent: the private with the stiff knee, the three hundred volumes, and the house the Revolution's best strategist left behind.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Reported experience] multiple phenomena: Association staff describe footsteps, rattling latches and an older-woman apparition. The house's rooms are where the accounts concentrate — old houses keep their stories in the walls they were built around. The claim rests on experience rather than evidence, and the file says so. '16 Real-Life Haunted Places in Rhode Island' carries the account. Small phenomena, steadily reported: the file's most honest kind of haunting.
