Slater Mill Historic Site, also known as Slater Mill or Old Slater Mill, is located on the Blackstone River in Pawtucket, RI. It has been cited as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America, although an earlier horse-powered factory, the Beverly Cotton Manufactory, claimed the title of first cotton mill in America, making Slater Mill's citation questionable for the honor.
Slater Mill was built in 1793. It served as the first commercially viable cotton-spinning mill with a fully mechanized water power system in the United States.

Dynamites, being highly edible, gave me a more practical reason. Dynamites are sloppy Joe's with a kick, served on a slab of Italian bread. The kick comes from hot peppers mixed in with sweet peppers.

Dynamite sauce also goes on a hot dog for a dynamite dog and, as an entree, over spaghetti.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-castle-luncheonette/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-castle-luncheonette/ Sun, 19 Apr 2009 10:07:56 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/the-castle-luncheonette/ 42.00848900 -71.50565400 <![CDATA[Allie's Donuts]]>

"Smithfield Friends Meeting House, Parsonage & Cemetery, built in 1881 is located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island and is home to one of the oldest Quaker communities in the area. Rhode Island provided a home to many Quaker refugees in the 17th century and in the early 18th century a group of "Friends" started this congregation. Their original Meeting House, built in 1719, was connected to a chain of Quaker Meeting Houses that were built along Great Road. It was destroyed by fire in 1881 and replaced by the current structure."

Ladd School - Urban Ruins
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: jbottero

The Rhode Island School for the Feeble Minded was founded in 1907 as a farm colony for the residents to work and learn, with Dr. Joseph Ladd as the superintendent. The patient population grew quickly, and in 1909 a dormitory was erected as the other was full; the new building would be for girls only. In 1917 the name of the facility changed to The Exeter School as the term "feeble-minded" (amongst many other medical terms) were becoming objectionable at the time. As the facility grew in size and population, funding became more scarce, and the school began to deteriorate into an overcrowded place to put the state's unwanted as many other state funded institutions did at the time. In the 1960s the facility had over 1,000 patients, and was re-named the Ladd Center in memory of its first superintendent.]]>

C. P. Jennewein, sculptor. Paul P. Cret of Philadelphia, architect. In front of Providence County Courthouse.

Cret won the competition for Providence's memorial to those who served in World War I with this impressive composition, comprising a base with relief panels of military materiel and emblems, a fluted shaft with a relief band of allegorical figures at its base, and a monumental figure at the top variously identified as Victory or Peace. This is one of numerous war memorials by Cret, an internationally acclaimed architect who developed a modernist style evolved from an artful and sophisticated simplification and reinterpretation of classical forms. The monument was originally sited behind the Federal Building on the bridging that until recently covered the Providence River at that point, officially designated Memorial Square. It was relocated to allow removal of the bridging and relocation of the rivers.]]>

Aldrich Mansion is situated on a majestic seventy-five acre estate on scenic Narragansett Bay. Built during the "Golden Years" of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, a Rhode Island native born to poverty but destined for greatness. The estate once held a Teahouse, since destroyed by fire. It was here Abby Aldrich, one of the Senator’s eight children, wed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (the sole male heir to the Standard Oil fortune and father of Nelson A. Rockefeller, former Governor of New York and later Vice President of the United States).

The mansion can also been seen in the movie "Meet Joe Black" featuring Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt.]]>

Its Indian name was Quotenis, but it is called Dutch Island because the West India Company established a trading post on the island in 1625, trading Dutch goods, cloths, implements. and liquors for the Indians' furs, fish, and venison. The island was bought from the Indians in 1654. During the Civil War, it was a rendezvous for battalions of the 14th Regiment of the R.I. Heavy Artillery. The federal government took over the island in 1863 and constructed earthen batteries: the honeycomb tunnels and gun emplacements of Fort Greble were built after the Spanish-American War and enlarged until 1902. The island is part of the Bay Islands Park system.

Continental Sloop Providence used in 'Pirates of the Caribbean'
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2006-07-13 14:45:35
Continental Sloop Providence, based on the East Coast, in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. This 110 foot sloop is a recreation of a very historic Revolutionary War naval vessel. Originally known as the Katy and launched in the 1760's, she sailed the Eastern seaboard and the Caribbean as an armed merchant ship. It is believed that she may even have had experience as a whaler and perhaps even a privateer before the war began.

In June of 1775, she became the flagship of the navy of Rhode Island. When she became a part of the American Navy later that year, she was renamed the Providence and became the first command of John Paul Jones. In her career, she won over 40 naval battles – the most successful of all American ships in the war. Yet she met her end in 1779 when she was scuttled and burned by her crew to avoid capture by the British in the Penobscot River near Bucksport, Maine.

The Providence was one of several ships that sailed to the Caribbean for appearances in Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man's Chest. One of her crew, Richard "Rusty" Rice has a great diary online offering some views of her during the filming as well as a log her voyage there and back. From the ships web pages:

"The Providence appears in a number of scenes in "Dead Man's Chest". She is in the background as a British vessel in the harbor of Port Royal and as a pirate ship at the dock in Tortuga. Her best scene is as a merchant vessel from which Captain Jack Sparrow's hat is retrieved. The merchant ship then suffers the fate of being destroyed by a sea monster, the Kraken!"]]>

Providence City Hall
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2006-04-18 00:41:39

From www.providenceri.com:

The architectural design of City Hall was crafted by Samuel J. F. Thayer, (Aug. 20, 1842- Mar. 1, 1893) a native of Boston. Providence City Hall was one of his first successes which led to other public commissions: the town halls in Brookline and Stoughton, Massachusetts, as well as the Nevins Memorial in Methuen, Massachusetts.

His plan was chosen from four finalists out of a total of 21 entries, each given a name such as "Fait," "Maltese Cross," and "Blue Wafer" to avoid any favoritism through identification with the architect.

Thayer's "Blue Wafer" plan was selected, and he was awarded $1,000. He described his design as "renaissance, of the character widely adopted for civic buildings in the most advanced cities of the world."

His plan proposed a tall, cathedral-like tower (see rendering in Archives) and floor dimensions deemed too large and costly by the committee. Consequently, the plan was modified, and the tower replaced with a modest mansard roof to meet the budget. The revised cost estimated by Thayer was just under the $635,000 that the Council was prepared to spend. Eventually, the cost of City Hall exceeded even this budget, totaling over one million dollars.

The building's construction is of iron and brick, faced with Westerly granite on the Dorrance and Washington Street sides and New Hampshire granite on the other two sides.The sidewalks are granite blocks, 5 to 6 feet wide and 18 to 20 feet long. The entire structure was built on an artificial foundation set atop 3,128 pilings driven deep into the underlying hardpan.

The cornerstone was set in place on June 24, 1875. After three years in construction, the city's first municipal government building became operational on November 14, 1878.

The early days -- Workers in the City Clerks Office shortly after City Hall opened. Note gas lamps.Electricity was installed soon thereafter.

City Hall then became the geographic and governmental center of the city, and its workers moved into what was the finest post-Civil War civic building in the state.When City Hall opened, it comprised a subbasement, basement (today's ground floor), and four upper floors. Gas light fixtures, some of which remain in place today, lighted all the rooms.]]>

Providence Water's Scituate Purification Plant
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2006-04-18 00:21:59

From www.provwater.com:

The main Scituate reservoir was formed by the construction of a dam across the Pawtuxet River at the former village of Kent. The dam, principally of earth, is about 3,200 feet long and 100 feet high. Water storage in the reservoir began on November 10, 1925. An aqueduct from the dam feeds the nearby treatment plant which was placed in operation on September 30, 1926.

The original treatment plant was state-of-the-art at the time of its construction. The plant was considered to be among the most technologically advanced of its day, and for many years the filtration system was the only plant of its type in New England. As demand continued to grow, the treatment plant underwent major expansions and renovations in the 1940's and again in the '60s. Today, the plant has a maximum treatment capacity of 144 million gallons of water per day and still remains the largest treatment facility in New England.

Once leaving the plant, water is delivered into the system through two major aqueducts. The first, the original 90-inch aqueduct constructed at the same time as the original treatment plant, is 4.5 miles long, including 3.3 miles of tunnel. It terminates at the structure called the siphon chamber, located near Phoenix Avenue in Cranston. From there, it splits into two large conduits, 60-inch and 66-inch in diameter, which in turn split into a series of progressively smaller transmission mains supplying the distribution system. The second supplemental aqueduct, constructed in the 1970s, is a 9.5 mile, 78-inch and 102-inch tunnel and aqueduct system which terminates at Budlong Road in Cranston.]]>

Roger Williams Park Zoo
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: AlbinoFlea
@ 2006-04-18 00:03:47

From www.rogerwilliamsparkzoo.org:

In 1871, Betsey Williams bequeathed her 102-acre farm to the City of Providence for public use in memory of her illustrious ancestor, Roger Williams, the founder of Providence. At the time, Providence had little open public space, and there was a growing desire to establish places where people could enjoy nature and escape the daily pressures of urban life.

In 1872, a "menagerie" of small animals and birds was brought to a section of the park so visitors could get a closer look at wildlife. Raccoons, guinea pigs, white mice, squirrels, rabbits, hawks, peacocks and anteaters were on display. This led to the official designation of this portion of Roger Williams Park as a "zoo." Roger Williams Park Zoo was the third zoo to open in the United States.

In the beginning, Roger Williams Park included little more than the present zoo grounds and Betsey's Cottage. Providence acquired land from Cranston and in 1878 approved a comprehensive plan designed by renowned landscape architect, Horace Cleveland. In 1883, massive work projects began to develop the Park as we know it today.

The Menagerie building opened in 1890, exhibiting a wide variety of exotic creatures including a tiger, a leopard and a pair of lions. This building, later converted to a bird house, is today the beautifully restored gift shop.

The stable, nicknamed The Barn, was for many years home to the park's workhorses. Renovated and renamed in 1986, the Sophie Danforth Center is home to the zoo's administrative offices, veterinary hospital and the Rhode Island Zoological Society. Both the Menagerie and Danforth Center are on the National Register of Historic Places.

From the Cranston Public Library Collection

An elephant barn was built in 1930, the year that Alice, the Zoo's most famous resident, arrived. A series of "Alices" followed after 1967 when the first Alice died. Today, you can find the current Alice in the Plains of Africa exhibit, with her two companions, Kate and Ginny. The elephant barn, now called the Tropical America building, is the home of Rhode Island's only rain forest.

From its menagerie start, the zoo spread out over the entire park. By the 1960s the zoo consisted of a number of animals exhibited in different areas throughout the Park. Bison, deer, and bears were housed on the hill across from the Dalrymple Boathouse and sea lions swam in the pool below the Casino. As mentioned above the elephants, birds and farm animals were located on the present -- but at that time unenclosed -- zoo grounds. This layout was spacious and beautiful, but it presented care, feeding, and security problems.

The 1960s brought changes to Roger Williams Park and Zoo. In 1962 Sophie Danforth founded the Rhode Island Zoological Society, as a nonprofit organization that provides financial and managerial support to the zoo. In 1965, all the animals were moved inside a newly-fenced compound -- this centralization greatly improved security, maintenance, and husbandry conditions.

In 1978, the zoo closed to embark upon a two-year upgrade project. 1980 marked the rebirth of the zoo; it reopened with a new Nature Center, a Polar bear exhibit, a boardwalk through a native wetlands area and a North American bison exhibit. And as they say, the rest is history. The current, vibrant state of Roger Williams Park Zoo is due to the hard work, persistence, and cooperation of both public and private sector, as well as the general public, for whom this zoo exists.]]>

From Wikipedia:

North Central State Airport is a general aviation airport located in Lincoln and Smithfield, Rhode Island. It has the IATA Airport Code SFZ. North Central is located in the upper region of the state and is roughly horizontally centered in the state; hence the name "North Central."

North Central State Airport generally caters to private pilots and general aviation, and the aircraft that are seen there are usually either of the single- or twin-engined propeller class. However, the airport does have facilities to fuel jet engine aircraft that require JET-A type fuel. The airport is not able to serve large airliners, and the use of North Central to these types of aircraft is purely emergency-related.

North Central State Airport is one of six active airports operated by the Rhode Island Airport Corporation. The other five airports include T.F. Green Airport, Quonset State Airport, Westerly State Airport, Newport State Airport, and Block Island State Airport.]]>
