Kenyon's Department Store is an historic department store building in the village of Wakefield in the town of South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
The historic Chicago style/Queen Anne style store was built in 1891 by Charles Chase and Harry Lewis. Kenyon's Department Store was located in "Wakefield, a village that began when William Kenyon bought 100 acres (40 ha) and donated the dirt streets."[2] The original department store business was founded in 1856.[3] The 1891 store building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] Kenyon's Department Store closed in 1996 when the last descendant retired, and the owner donated the building to South County Hospital to maintain as a medical supply store.[2]
