Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter X PROVIDENCE HOUSES, 1785-1830 TER the war of the Revolution, Providence entered on an era of great prosperity. This was brought about by her shipping-trade, and especially by the trade with China and the East Indies. Great wealth was brought into the town, and the foremost ship-owners and merchants lived in a way of corresponding luxury. They built houses of stately dignity, with large, square, high-studded rooms, and walls that defy even the New-England east wind, and their beautiful woodwork still serves us as a model for decoration.1 One of the best examples in New England of this type of architecture is the house built by John Brown on Power Street, in 1786. It is now Number 52 Power Street. In the following year John Brown sent the first ship from the port of Providence to the East Indies. This was the General Washington. John Brown was a great admirer of Washington. When he built the first Washington Bridge over Providence River, close to his new wharves and docks, he placed a wooden statue of his favorite hero on the new bridge, and gave it its present name. His house 1 Dow, American Renaissance Houses in Bristol. John Brown House, Power Street Now owned by Marsden J. Peny.

He also worked on the design of the Old Market House at the foot of College Street, now known as the Board of Trade. This building was put up in 1773. It was...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Colonial Homes One end which I proposed to myself in this book, besides presenting house and home historically, was to gather up as many distinct types Of the colonial architecture of New England as pos sible, from the rude farmhouse of the first settlers to the elegant mansion of a later generation, as it seems to me nothing could give half so clear a picture of a century and a half of colonial life. It was this idea alone which could give cohesion to a series of sketches having little connection in themselves, except as recording fragments of history that had become scattered with the lapse of time. Most of them were written some years ago for Appleton'sjoumml; but by the addition of several new subjects, besides re-writing the old ones, the collection bears out, I think, the idea conveyed by the title of our colonial homes.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Architectural Monograph on Houses of the Southern Colonies "Pop" Chandler, in whose office we installed the stolen trophy, had numerous fits when we informed him that "a kind lady had given the thing to us." The draughtsmen of the office of that time have since become fat and portly architects, such men as Longfellow and Austin, Ion Lewis and dear old Billy Barry, who in himself was a most delightful Colonial expression. His sketches of ships and of old compositions of eighteenth-century buildings were masterpieces; he knew the intimate detail of a dentilled turn in the cornice, the habits of clapboards and rake-moldings, and the customs and manners of gables and dormers as few other men knew them. In order to gather sufficient funds for a European trip, it occurred to me that possibly I might acquire such with a few carefully measured drawings of good examples of the Colonial. The plan seemed good and the layouts were not difficult; but I smile to-day when I remember the rocky path ahead of that unsophisticated youngster who expected to achieve Spain and Italy through the easy bypaths of Colonial drawings. Ware of the American Architect would not even look at the proffered sheets; Col. Meyer of the Engineering Record wanted to cut them up, though this big-hearted man tried to sell them for me and offered them to Comstock in New York. This effort was more hopeless than the other with Ware in Boston. Then there comes on the screen that fine old soul whose memory many architects still adore - "Pop" Ware, then in Columbia. These drawings suggested something to him, and his students were permitted to look them over as inspirations for their own summer work. After Prof. Ware had put his seal of approval on these sheets, they were demanded by and sold to the American Architect. To-day they form a part of the Georgian Period. I have wondered in my later days at the difficulties which I had encountered in disposing of these drawings, realizing, of course, that the profession at that time had little, if any, appreciation of the charm and fitness of that phase which has since come to be known as Old Colonial. I have never been able to comprehend the "Old," though I have been told by one of the grandfathers of the profession that I, myself, was responsible for this false appellation. I wish here to disclaim the credit for the misnomer, and will hereafter, being relieved of this anachronism in phraseology, insist that Colonial is the only correct and proper label for those beauties of the eighteenth century which we to-day know with such intimacy. On my return from the European trip I was amazed and delighted to find a representative of Col. Meyer on the dock, a contract in his hand, and with a demand from the virile West that Wallis be looked up and sent South. With this commission and sufficiently financed, I began my journey south, much as Sir Galahad did in his search for the Holy Grail. I had been face to face with the great expressions of Europe, and had talked with Vedder, with Abbey, and with others in the ateliers of the E. D. B. A. I knew the museums of Madrid, of Florence, of Paris, and of London; the streets and alleys of all of those Spanish, Italian, and French cities where architecture is at home, and where the street gamins and the proletariat are in complete accord with the architectural expressions of their fathers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Houses of Providence: A Study of Present Conditions and Tendencies, With Notes on the Surrounding Communities and Some Mill Villages Dear Mr. Sharpe: Herewith is our report on housing conditions in Providence. While we have found Providence to be more fortunate than many other cities so far as the present situation is concerned, there are tendencies here which, if unchecked, will rapidly change it for the worse. We therefore hope that the people of Providence and their representatives may be persuaded soon to set minimum standards which will prevent the development of conditions that are a menace to the health and well-being of the people and in every way a detriment to the city. Providence to-day has advantages that other cities would give much to secure. It needs only to use them. Providence has made mistakes in the past from which it is suffering; but they are mistakes that can be remedied. Moreover, they are mistakes that may even be valuable if because of them the people are awakened to the need of careful consideration for the future. In no other city of its size with which I am acquainted is there such opportunity to build well, for Providence still has space both within and without the city. That is the fundamental. Having that, Providence can be made not only one of the most conveniently arranged cities and one of the most wholesome cities, but also one of the pleasantest. The opportunities it presents are such as should arouse the enthusiasm of all who have faith in its future.
