The building was purchased by the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1916, and has served a variety of roles for the school, most recently as a student cafe named Carr Haus and lounge at RISD. It is one of Providence's early prominent examples of Queen Anne styling. The house is built on a steep slope and located at the corner of a busy intersection of Waterman Street and Benefit Street. In 1916, the Providence Engineering Society occupied the entire second floor of the building, then owned by RISD. In 1926, artist Frank Convers Mathewson (1862–1941) lived in the Carr House. According to Chris Frantz of the band Talking Heads, while students at RISD, the band members lived in Carr House and that is where they wrote their song "Psycho Killer".
