One of College Hill's Premier Properties Hits the Market — Goddard Home for Centuries The official name is the Captain George Benson House, but it is best known as the home of one of Rhode Island's most famous families — the Goddards. The family dominated Rhode Island business and finance for nearly two centuries, and the Goddards have been dubbed one of "The Five Families." The Goddard family sold it a few years ago, and it is now on the market again. The home is perched on College Hill on the corner of Angell and Prospect, uniquely looking over both RISD and Brown campuses.
