Notes
  • Significance: College Hill is significant at the national level as a well preserved collection of historic residential, commercial, educational, and religious buildings dating from the early eighteenth century to about 1930. The area was listed as a district in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Covering an area of nearly 500 acres, the district contains a variety of resources associated with the development of Providence from Colonial times to the present. Among the most significant resources are a line of remarkably well-preserved homes along Benefit Street, the campuses of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design, and commercial, religious, and public buildings found along Water, Main, Wickenden, Thayer and Prospect streets. The development of the patchwork of neighborhoods that make up the district was governed by changing patterns and economic conditions that played significant roles in the evolution of Providence. The district retains its historic appearance, feeling, and association to a high degree.
