The Candace Allen House is a historic house located at 12 Benevolent Street in the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Named after Candace Allen (1785-1872)[1] an dauther of Zachariah Allen, a prominent Providence mill-owner.

The Federal style house was built in 1818–1820 by local architect John Holden Greene and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It is a brick two-story building with a hip roof topped by a small monitor section. It is five bays wide, with a center entry sheltered by a portico supported by Corinthian columns, and an elliptical window above. The interior follows a typical central-hall plan, and has elaborate interior detail including marble mantels, a U-shape stairway, ceiling cornices, undercut moldings, and walnut doors with silver hardware.[2]

Candace Allen (1785-1872) was the older sister of Zachariah Allen, a prominent Providence mill-owner and inventor. Her fiancé was killed in the War of 1812, and she did not ever marry.[3] The house was, as of its 1973 National Register listing, still in the hands of the Allen family.[4]
