STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE - - - -

The College Hill Historic District -is a superb example of a late 18th

century ard early 19th century New England city. The district -contains the

vs - 120-acre core of the original 381-acre F7th century town site, as laidr out

by Roger Williams in 1638, and approxk:te1y 333 structures of the Co].onialand Federe.l Periods,-built between1730-:and 1825.- - - -

- History - - - - -

F-

- U Providence had its origin in 1636 whenRoger Williams, religiousleader and Indian trader, and his follonrs, exiled for heresy fromCongregati.onalist Salem, Massachusetts,set up a colony at the head c-Narragansett Bay and at the confluence of the Moshassuckand WoomasquutucketRivers. The new settlement grew around a spring of fresh water located onthe west side of North Main Street near-the present Alamo Lane, a short

Z distance south of Smith Street. The separation of church and state iii-

- Rhode Island was partly responsible for -the pattern of Providenceta growth.In Massachusettsand Connecticut town lend was set aside for the statechurch, facing on a common, and the churchand green became the centers

Li around which the settlers grouped their houses. InProvidence, however, novs church was built until 1700 and no villege green was ever contemplatec.

Instead theProprietors, in 1633, laid nut deep narrow house lots in rstraggling line along an Indian pathway on the east shore of the Great SaltRiver and the lots extended eastward up over a steep hill to present.-dayHope Street. Topography determined this peculiar linear plan and infiuencethe shape of the long, narrow house lots which ranged from 100 to 135 feetin width, 1600 to 3000 feet in length, and from Ii 1/2 to 8 1/2 acres in arecThe houseswere all located on the west side of the lots and faced upon thenorth-south "Towne Streettt now called North and South Main streetsthat formed the spine of the village. The town site was comprised Qf about381 acres and occupied the area now known as College Hili. -

By 1650 there were about 51 wood houses, amill and one tannery: onlyonecolonist was engagedin the sea trade an the e_pla teS.In 1675, during King Philipts War, Providence was burned to the ground bythe Indians, except for two houses. The town was rebuilt on its originalplan and by -1700 had some 1,200 inhabitants. In the early 1700’sProvidencebegan to turn from farming to the sea andthere nsa steadyexpansion of commercewith Europe and the West Indies.

8. Significance 1 - - - - - -

By 1730 the increased prosperity was- reflected in the numbers, size, and ty1eof Providence’s churches and houses the first brick houseswere erected in-that year. Until the eve of the American Revolution, however, Providence

laggedfar behind Newport, Rhode Island, as a commercial and trading center,

but by 1775 the -stage was set for the emergency of Providence as a major port.

During the ensuing years of the Revolutionary War, Providence’s commercevkscrippled by the blockade of Narragansett Bay, but the town did not sufferoccupation by the British for three years as did Newport, and its commerce;recovered quickly after the war. - By iBBo the population of Providence

-

numberedover 7,500.whereasNewport’s population had dropped front9,000 tc- about 14,000 between 1775 and 1730: Providene had finally supplantedNew-g3rt

as the chief trading port in Rhode Island. Providencet commercial wealTh is- still reflected, in the survey fine, homes, churches, and public buildings- -

erected during this period during this period, many of which were designed bythe noted amateur architect, JosephBrown of Providence. - -

In the early 19th CenturyProvidence rapidly shifted from the sea to --

industry. In 1790 the first successful American cotton manufactory wasestablished In Pawtucketby Samuel Slater with funds provided by a Provideicemerchant. By 1812 over 30 cotton mills werein successful operation andfortunes foundEd on shipping were now augmentedby native industry and bywholesale and retail commerce. By 18214 the city had a population of 15,000.As JosephBrown- had been responsible for most of the significant building

- immediately before and after the Revolutionary War, so the imprint of’ thearchitect-builder, John Holden Greene, was stamped on early 19th centuryProvidence. He.designed almost every important building erected between 1.309and the close of his career in 1330. By 1357, with a population ol’ 50,00C-,Providence had spread far to the south, west and north of the original to-insite. - - - - -

-In August, 1960, the College Hill Historic District in Providence was

established by municipal legislation. - The District is under the supervisionof an appointed commission whose purpose-is to main the intergrity of its -

whole and to preserve, maintain an-i improve the architectural and visualqualities of its parts or contents. Over the years certain parts of. theHistoric District --- mainly at its northern and southern ends --- had suffereçlfrom blight,-though fortunately this was seldomaccompaniedby the disappearanceof historic structures. Much improvementhas taken place in these portionssince l9O and is being continued with the advice and control of the HistoricDistrict Commission, the assistanceof the Providence Preservation-Society,and the funds and enthusiasmof the property-owners themselves.More than 150historic houses have been restored to date.
