PROVIDENCE

. A New- Old City

New in Spirit and Vigor - Old in History and Tradition

Capitol Building, Providence, R. I.

Providence is located at the head of Narragansett Bay which offers one of the finest ports on the United States coastal line, whether on the Atlantic or Pacific. The Bay is not only suited for shipping, but it furnishes recreational playgrounds for Rhode Islanders and people from all parts of this country and the world. Newport, which is located at the entrance to the Bay, has been long famous as a resort and show place. Narragansett on the opposite side of the Bay entrance from Newport is also a well-known summer resort. The fishing industry also thrives on many parts of the Bay which yields an abundant supply of fish and shell fish. Many eating places on the Rhode Island shores of Narragansett Bay are well-known for shore din- ners, clam bakes, and Rhode Island johnny cakes.

Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams who received a deed for the land from the Narragansett Indians. The primeval forests were gradually cleared from the hills and what is now a thriving City gradually de- veloped during the intervening centuries. The fame and importance of Providence has been given a high place among the nation's cities. The name of Roger Williams will always be perpetuated in Providence because it was here for the first time that a charter proclaimed a doctrine of noninterference in the religious belief of the people. This doctrine of religious freedom has had much to do with the spirit and growth of the City. People of many nation- alities and of diverse religious beliefs live together in religious tolerance and mutual respect.

The forefathers of many families which still reside in Rhode Island contributed greatly to the original enterprise of the City and State. These early inhabitants established mills, factories, shipping yards, counting houses, and sailing fleets by which means Providence became an important commercial and industry center of the thirteen colonies. Her prestige has been maintained and broadened so that today the metropolitan Providence includes some of the largest single industries in the country and is the largest center in the world for certain industrial products.

First Baptist Church

Providence is of interest historically by reason of its fine old houses and public edifices which are fine examples of colonial architectures. For example, the First Baptist Meeting House built in 1775, the old State House, the old Market Building in Market Square, and the private resi- dences too numerous to mention which are principally located on the hill. It is safe to say that there are more fine and varied examples of residential architecture in Providence than in any other city in the United States; each one a type of the best in architecture covering the periods from the colonial days to the present.

The population of Rhode Island is the largest per square mile of any state and yet it is the smallest state in the union. Providence is considered the world's largest jewelry manufacturing center and one of the nation's larg- est centers for the distribution of petroleum products. Prov- idence is important in the manufacture of machine tools, textile machinery, rubber goods, iron and steel products, silverware, and textiles, including silk, rayon, cotton, woolen and worsted. Situated between New York and Bos- ton which furnish large markets, Providence is in a stra- tegic location for the distribution of goods and services of all kinds. Also, a very considerable foreign trade origin- ates in Providence whose factories send their products to all corners of the world.

According to the last census of 1950, Providence had 248,674 inhabitants. It should be borne in mind, however, that in regard to the population figure the city limits in- clude only 18.91 square miles in contrast to 100 or more square miles of most cities of comparable importance. The State of Rhode Island has nearly 800,000 (791,896) people all of whom are in the immediate trading territory of the City and much of which can be considered a "bed chamber" for those who do business and work in Providence. From a commercial standpoint, the trading area of metropolitan Providence includes not only all Rhode Island, but southern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut with a total popu- lation of well over a million inhabitants.

In addition to excellent port facilities, including both State and Municipal Piers, Providence has rail transporta- tion furnished by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad system, extensive overland truck lines, bus service by the New England Transportation Company, Greyhound Lines and others, and air service in all directions furn- ished by the American, Eastern, United, and Northeast Air Lines.

The City of Providence is distinguished for its cultural and educational institutions. Colleges and schools of learn- ing which draw students from all over the world include Brown University which is one of the oldest and most dis- tinguished institutions of learning in the United States. Other colleges are Providence College founded by the Do- minicans, Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island Col- lege of Education, Pembroke College of Brown University, Bryant College, Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, and University of Rhode Island at Kingston. Other cultural and educational advantages include a concert series by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Rhode Island Philhar- monic Orchestra which presents a regular schedule of con- certs, the Community Concert Association which is the sec- ond largest in the country, the Providence Art Club which sponsors many art exhibits, and the Players which present a series of dramatic productions each year.

The excellent library facilities include the Providence Public Library, the John Hay, Carter Brown and Ann Mary Brown libraries at Brown University, the Providence Athe- naeum, and the Medical Library at the Rhode Island Medi- cal Association. The museums include a natural history exhibition at Roger Williams Park and a comprehensive museum display at the Rhode Island School of Design which houses the famous Pendleton collection of furniture.

The people who work and live in Providence have ample and exceptional opportunities for play and recrea- tion. Rhode Island is a natural playground with miles of coast line and with beautiful sandy bathing beaches. We have already referred to the Bay as a great recreational area. The hinterland is beautiful rolling country, dotted with many ponds, lakes, and streams. Golf courses, tennis courts, yacht clubs and other recreational facilities are scattered throughout the State. Fine roads and short dis- tances make them all accessible.

Roger Williams Park in the City of Providence is a show place with its beautiful flower gardens, acres of shady

fields, and a large body of water. This Park also maintains a zoo, and public tennis courts. In the wintertime resi- dents and visitors also have recreational advantages and sports. The State has developed an area at Diamond Hill for skiing and other winter sports. There is also ice skat- ing at the East Side Skating Club and on the lakes and ponds. Professional hockey and other winter sports are enjoyed at the Rhode Island Auditorium.

Providence is a City small enough to be thoroughly hospitable and have its people know each other and at the same time large enough to contain the advantages of a great City.

The new and the old blended in the Providence skyline.
