Farol de Point Judith

O Farol de Point Judith está localizado no lado oeste da entrada de Baía de Narragansett, Rhode Island, bem como no lado norte da entrada leste de Block Island Sound. A confluência de dois cursos de água torna esta área movimentada com o tráfego de água e as águas ao redor de Point Judith são muito frias e perigosas. Historicamente, mesmo com faróis ativos, houve muitos naufrágios ao largo dessas costas. Três estruturas leves foram construídas neste local. A torre original de 11 m (35 ft), foi construída em 1810, foi destruída por um furacão em 1815. Depois foi substituída em 1816, por outra torre de pedra de 11 m (35 ft) com uma luz giratória e dez lâmpadas. A atual torre de granito octogonal foi construída em 1856. A metade superior da torre é pintada de castanho e a metade inferior de branco para tornar a estrutura leve e um marco diurno mais eficaz para o tráfego marítimo. Em 1871, capitães de navios pediram que o sinal de neblina de Point Judith fosse alterado de uma buzina para apito. Essa mudança distinguiu a luz Point Judith do Farol Beavertail, que usava uma sirene para anunciar neblina. Um apito também podia ser ouvido mais distintamente sobre os sons das ondas na área. O farol de Point Judith Light foi automatizado em 1954 e foi listado no Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos em 1988.

Маяк Пойнт-Джудит

Маяк Пойнт-Джудит (англ. Point Judith Light) — маяк, расположенный на мысе Пойнт-Джудит на западном входе в залив Наррагансетт, округ Вашингтон, штат Род-Айленд, США. Построен в 1810 году. Автоматизирован в 1954 году. История Города Провиденс и Ньюпорт, одни из первых английских поселений в Северной Америке, были крупными центрами промышленности и торговли в XVIII-XIX веках. Для обеспечения навигации до них через залив Наррагансетт, в котором находится множество больших и малых островов, было построено несколько маяков. 10 февраля 1808 года Конгресс США выделил 5 000$ на строительство маяка на мысе Пойнт-Джудит. В 1810 году строительство было завершено. Маяк представлял собой деревянную башню высотой 11 метров и небольшой дом смотрителя. Для освящения использовались масляные лампы. В 1815 году башня маяка был уничтожен ураганом. В апреле 1816 года Конгресс выделил 7 500$ на строительство новой башни. В том же году была построена 11-метровая башня из каменных блоков. Но высота башни была недостаточной, а дом смотрителя был очень маленьким, и в 1856 году был построен новый маяк. Он представлял собой восьмиугольную башню из гранитных блоков высотой 16 метров, соединённую крытым переходом с новым более просторным двухэтажным кирпичным домом смотрителя. На маяк были установлены линза Френеля и противотуманный сигнал. Для большей заметности в 1899 году маяк был окрашен необычным образом: нижняя половина была покрашена в белый а верхняя — в коричневый. В 1917 году была построена небольшая котельная. В 1923 году для противотуманного сигнала была построено отдельное небольшое здание. В 1954 году Береговая охрана США автоматизировала маяк, и дом смотрителя был демонтирован. В 1988 году он был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Фотографии Примечания
Point Street Bridge

The Point Street Bridge is a movable bridge that crosses the Providence River in Providence, Rhode Island, carrying Point Street from the Jewelry District to Wickenden Street at the base of College Hill. History The first bridge at this site was built in 1872. It consisted of a swing span 249 feet (76 m) in length with two 145 feet (44 m) shore spans. In 1907, each of the approach spans was divided into three plate-girder spans carried on new granite piers and abutments. However, funding was insufficient to replace the swing span, so its length was merely increased to 284 feet (87 m). The current bridge is the third at this site. It is also a swing bridge and was built by the Boston Bridge Works in 1927. The bridge is no longer moveable but fixed in place to allow Point Street traffic to cross. It was last swung open in 1959. The Fox Point Hurricane Barrier, downstream of the Point Street Bridge and completed in 1966, rendered the swing feature of little value, because the Barrier blocks large vessels from traveling upstream before the bridge would. After World War II, Route 1A became a major route carrying traffic from southern RI to the East Side of Providence, and points east. The Point Street Bridge was part of that route, and on exceptionally hot summer days, the bridge would expand after it opened, and with nowhere to bleed off the heat, it expanded to a point where it couldn't be closed. Traffic built up for several miles and fire tankers had to be summoned to shoot water on the bridge until it shrunk back to a size (only an inch or two) so it could be closed and let traffic resume. Bicycle lane markings were added to the bridge as part of the city's 2013 Bicycle Master Plan.

Ponaganset High School

Ponaganset High School is a school of the Foster-Glocester School District, located in Glocester, Rhode Island in Providence County. (It has a North Scituate, Rhode Island address for postal purposes.) The majority of high school students live in the rural towns of Glocester and Foster, Rhode Island. This is a public high school, known for its music program, AP and honors classes, as well as its CTE approved pathways; plant systems, animal systems, materials and manufacturing, pre-engineering, music technology, music performance, and pending programs: computer science and information technology, and biomedicine. The school's athletic teams are named the "Chieftains," and the FIRST Robotics Competition team is called "5112, The Gongoliers." The principal as of 2025 was Amanda Grundel. Demographics The demographic breakdown of the 900 students enrolled for the 2023–2024 school year was: Male – 50.3% Female – 49.4% American Indian/Alaska Native – 0.2% Asian – 0.8% Black – 0.6% Hispanic – 6.0% White – 89.1% Two or more races – 3.1% Additionally, 14.2% of the students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Mascot Controversy Ponaganset's mascot is the Chieftain in a full headdress, which the Foster-Glocester School District mascot came under controversy by the local Nipmuc Tribe, which formed from the scrutiny in recent years as mascots with Native American imagery and symbolism have been reevaluated. The Rhode Island Commission on Prejudice and Bias was initially scheduled to present their case for replacing the mascot of the Foster-Glocester School District, but has been postponed indefinitely. Capital improvement plan In the late 2000s, the school underwent a major multi-phase renovation in which the former middle school was relocated to a new building and the existing high school took over the old middle school structure. An indoor glass walkway was put in to attach the high school with the old middle school. The renovations were completed at the end of 2009. Notable alumni Sherwood C. Spring, retired United States Army Colonel and former NASA astronaut and graduate of the Class of 1963. Samuel Ejnes, award-winning re-recording mixer known for his work on television series such as What We Do in the Shadows and Yellowstone. He graduated from Ponaganset High School in 2006. References
Pontiac Mills

Pontiac Mills is a historic textile mill complex on Knight Street in the village of Pontiac, Rhode Island within the city of Warwick. The mills produced the original Fruit of the Loom brand of cloth. The current mills were built beginning in 1863 by Robert Knight and Benjamin Knight (B.B. & R. Knight Company) to replace a smaller textile mill they had acquired from US Senator John Hopkins Clarke. Robert Knight, formerly a clerk at the mill's company store, had begun leasing the mill upon Clarke's election to the US senate in 1846, before purchasing it outright in 1850. The Knights later demolished it to erect the current mill in 1863. The mills produced uniforms for Union soldiers during the American Civil War. In 1920 Webster Knight sold Fruit of the Loom and the Pontiac Mills to the Consolidated Textile Corporation of New York for approximately $20 million, one of the largest deals ever made in the textile industry at that time. 1922 strike and riots Shortly thereafter, the mill became involved in one of the largest worker strikes of the era, after wages were cut by 20% and a 54-hour work week mandated. The strike resulted in 150 people being evicted from their mill-owned homes, as well as riots and attacks on the mill, following which the National Guard was called in by Rhode Island governor Emery J. San Souci and machine guns mounted to the roofs of Pontiac Mill and nearby Natick Mill. Decline and reopening The textile industry overall in New England began declining shortly after this period but Pontiac Mills continued. The mill ceased operations in 1970, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1995 a new owner attempted to revive the mill with new tenants including stores selling antiques, furniture, and jewelry. The mills reopened in 2018 as Pontiac Lofts luxury mill apartments, with additional tenants Apponaug Brewing Company, Studio B salon, and On The Ropes Boxing.

Providence Jewelry Manufacturing Historic District

The Providence Jewelry Manufacturing Historic District is a predominantly industrial historic district in Providence, Rhode Island. It covers a roughly 19-acre (7.7 ha) area in the city's Jewelry District, just south of Downtown Providence. While the area began as a residential neighborhood, it emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a center of Providence's jewelry manufacturing businesses. The oldest industrial building in the district is the 1848 Elm Street Machine Shop (116 Elm Street), a 2+1⁄2-story stone structure that now houses offices of Brown University.

Providence Performing Arts Center

The Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), formerly Loew's State Theatre and Palace Concert Theater, is a multi-use not-for-profit theater located at 220 Weybosset Street in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. It was built in 1928 as a movie palace by the Loews Theatres chain to designs by Rapp & Rapp, the leading designers of music palaces at the time. PPAC contains 3,100 seats and hosts touring Broadway shows, concerts, plays and films. The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 under the name "Loew's State Theatre". History The theater was built in 1928 as The Loew's State and was designed by Rapp and Rapp. George and C. W. Rapp were architects who made their name by designing movie palaces across the United States. The first film to be shown at the new theater was Excess Baggage, starring William Haines. Over 14,000 people jammed the building during its opening; they did not come to watch the film, but to see the theater's opulent chandeliers, marble columns, and detailed moldings on the walls. The theater was the site of a number of notable movie premieres, including the first 3-D feature film, Bwana Devil. Between 1950 and 1972 the theater operated under the name Loew's Theatre and showed live concerts, rather than movies. Between 1972 and 1975 the building was known as the Palace Concert Theater, and was used primarily for rock concerts. In 1973-1974 alone, the Palace Concert Theater hosted the Bee Gees, The Kinks, The Doors, Lou Reed, Jackson Browne, Van Morrison, Fleetwood Mac, Queen and Aerosmith. The band King Crimson recorded the song "Providence" during a 1974 concert at the venue; the song was featured on their seventh album Red, released later that year. The theater was refurbished in 1975, but was almost torn down in 1977. According to mayor Buddy Cianci's account, the theater's owner asked for a permit to demolish the building. Cianci pledged over $1 million of city funds to keep it open. The state of Rhode Island joined in the effort to rescue the theater, as did local businesses and foundations. The venue re-opened in October 1978 From 1978 under the name Ocean State Theatre, a name it held until 1982. Beginning in 1999, the theater was extensively remodeled and largely restored to its original 1928 opulence. It was also expanded to be able to accommodate touring Broadway productions and orchestra performances. In 1996, PPAC became the anchor of Cianci's Arts and Entertainment District, which offered tax breaks to attract artists to downtown.
