Род-Айлендская школа дизайна

Род-Айлендская школа дизайна (англ. Rhode Island School of Design, сокр. RISD) — американская частная школа искусства и дизайна в Провиденсе, штат Род-Айленд. Была основана в 1877 году. В настоящее время предлагает программы бакалавриата и магистратуры по 19 специальностям. Кампус школы расположен в пригороде Провиденса Колледж-Хилл и прилегает к кампусу Университета Брауна. Контингент Род-Айлендской школы дизайна включает 181 штатных и 421 внештатных (с частичной занятостью) преподавателей, около 2000 студентов и порядка 500 аспирантов. История Для Всемирной выставки 1876 года в Филадельфии, была создана женская группа Centennial Women, которая собирала средства для отдельного женского павильона, демонстрирующего работы женщин той эпохи. Немногим более чем за год было собрано более 10 000 долларов. Сам женский павильон на Всемирной выставке успешно освещал «экономическое право женщин на самообеспечение» («economic right to self-sufficiency») и включал экспонаты недавно созданных школ дизайна, представлял новые патентов женщин-предпринимателей и библиотеку, содержащую книги, написанные только женщинами. Род-Айлендская группа Centennial Women представила в библиотеку газету «Herald of the Century». В конце Всемирной выставки у Centennial Women осталось 1675 долларов, и они решили потратить их на то, чтобы увековечить свои достижения. Хелен Меткалф предложила группе направить деньги на создание художественной школы в Провиденсе. Это предложение было одобрено большинством членов 11 января 1877 года, и школа была зарегистрирована 22 марта 1877 года. Она открыла свои двери следующей осенью в Hoppin Homestead в центре города Провиденса, штат Род-Айленд. С 2015 года президентом Род-Айлендской школы дизайна является Розанна Сомерсон. В 2018 году это учебное учреждение было названо Forbes среди лучших американских колледжей. См. также Музей Род-Айлендской школы дизайна Примечания Ссылки Официальный сайт

Block Island North Light

Block Island North Light (Lighthouse), built in 1867, is a historic lighthouse on Block Island, Rhode Island (New Shoreham). History The first light on the site was built in 1829. The current structure at Sandy Point is the fourth lighthouse built on the site and was made of granite and iron in 1867. The light was deactivated in 1973 and United States Fish and Wildlife Service acquired the lighthouse. The lighthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. After years of neglect, the lighthouse, along with two acres of land, was sold to New Shoreham in 1984 for $1 USD. Following much renovation by the North Light Commission, it was relighted in 1989, and a museum opened on the first floor in 1993. Then, in 2008, the light underwent restoration at Georgetown Ironworks in Massachusetts and was returned in 2009. Finally, on 23 October 2010, a relighting ceremony took place. Structure The building is made of brown granite. The tower is octagonal in shape, 55 feet (17 m) in height, and provides a focal plane height of 61 feet (19 m). It contains a fourth-order Fresnel lens, which flashes white light every five seconds, and has a range of 11 nautical miles (20 km; 13 mi). The lighthouse does not have a foghorn. A wind generator and solar panels provide much of the power for the building.

Северный маяк острова Блок

Северный маяк острова Блок (англ. Block Island North Light) — маяк, расположенный на острове Блок, находящийся на границе проливов Лонг-Айленд и Блок-Айленд, округ Вашингтон, штат Род-Айленд, США. Построен в 1867 году. Автоматизирован в 1956 году. Деактивирован в 1973 году. Возвращен в эксплуатацию в 1989 году. История Скалы вокруг острова Блок неоднократно становились причиной кораблекрушений. 2 марта 1829 года Конгресс США выделил 5 500$ на строительство маяка на севере острова, и в том же году он был построен. Маяк представлял собой кирпичный дом смотрителя с башней на вершине. Для освещения использовались масляные лампы. Неустойчивые песок и гравий на месте строительства были подвержены эрозии, и вскоре маяк смыло в море. 3 марта 1837 года Конгресс выделил 5 000$ на перестройку маяка. Перестроенный на новом месте маяк представлял собой гранитный дом смотрителя, на крыше которого располагалась башня, проект маяка был тот же, только в качестве материала гранитные блоки заменили кирпичи. Но и второй маяк на этом месте не простоял долго: из-за продолжающейся эрозии он стал небезопасным, и в 1857 году был построен третий маяк. Он представлял собой гранитную башню высотой 15 метров и дом смотрителя, расположенный отдельно. Однако и это место оказалось небезопасным, и 28 июля 1866 года Конгресс выделил 15 000$ на строительство четвёртого маяка на «более подходящем месте». Четвёртый маяк был построен по тому же проекту, что и маяки Морган-Пойнт, острова Грэйт-Каптен и острова Шеффилд в Коннектикуте, маяки Олд-Филд-Пойнт и острова Плам в штате Нью-Йорк. Он представлял собой двухэтажный дом смотрителя в викторианском стиле из гранитных блоков, на крыше которого была расположена восьмиугольная башня маяка высотой 13 метров. На маяк была установлена линза Френеля. В 1956 году Береговая охрана США автоматизировала маяк. В 1973 году был построен автоматический маяк неподалеку, и Северный маяк острова Блок был выведен из эксплуатации. В 1989 после реставрации маяк был возвращён в эксплуатацию. В настоящее время маяк работает на солнечной и ветровой энергии, а на первом этаже маяка расположен музей. В 1974 году маяк был включен в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Примечания
Block Island National Wildlife Refuge

Located approximately 12 miles (19 km) offshore on picturesque Block Island, the Block Island National Wildlife Refuge provides crucial habitat for wildlife, and a place for people to appreciate the natural environment of the island. The refuge was established in 1973 with the transfer of 28 acres (110,000 m2) from the U.S. Coast Guard, and has grown to its current size of 127 acres (0.51 km2) today. Block Island National Wildlife Refuge is administered as part of the Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which manages all five of the National Wildlife Refuges in Rhode Island, and is headquartered in Charlestown, Rhode Island. Situated along the Atlantic Flyway, Block Island is one of the most important migratory bird habitats on the east coast. Many songbirds "overfly" the mainland and stopover on Block Island before continuing their migration. Hundreds of "birders" visit the refuge each fall to watch migration. The refuge also provides habitat for the endangered American burying beetle, supporting the only population of this species known east of the Mississippi River. Piping plovers, a threatened species, occur in the refuge, as do four other state species of concern. The refuge is also home to the largest gull colony in Rhode Island.

Boston and Providence Railroad Bridge

The Boston and Providence Railroad Bridge in East Providence is a railroad bridge on the East Junction Branch spanning Ten Mile River. A portion of the bridge also spans Roger Williams Avenue. The bridge was built in 1884 by the Boston and Providence Railroad, replacing an earlier structure on the line. The bridge abutments are faced in coursed ashlar stone, with brick-faced segmental-arch tunnels piercing them. The main span of the bridge consists of two Warren trusses resting on the abutments and a central pier in the Ten Mile River. The bridge formerly carried two tracks, but has been reduced to one. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It continues in active service carrying Providence and Worcester Railroad freight trains between East Providence and Seekonk, Massachusetts.

King Park

King Park is a small historic town park and beach at 125 Wellington Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island. It was the landing site of General Rochambeau during the Revolutionary War, and the park currently features a statue honoring Rochambeau's landing as a well as a beach, playground, dinghy dock, and little league baseball field. In 1780 General Rochambeau's army of 6,000 French soldiers landed on site of what is now King Park. In 1897 the heirs of Edward King, the builder of the nearby Edward King House, donated the land for the creation of the park. It was built between 1897 and 1902. August A. Noel designed the bath house. In 1928 the Newport Historical Society erected the monument to General Rochambeau's landing. The large stone pier was originally "dock area for the original America's Cup Regattas when they resumed here after WWII. Hurricanes destroyed the wooden finger dock structures and they were never rebuilt." The substantial stone pier is currently the site of one of the town's dinghy docks and is adjacent to a boat launch ramp. References
Boyd's Windmill

Boyd's Windmill, also known as Boyd's Wind Grist Mill, is a historic smock mill at Paradise Valley Park on Prospect Avenue in Middletown, Rhode Island. John Peterson built the windmill at the corner of Mill Lane and West Main Rd. in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1810, and William Boyd purchased it in 1815. It originally had four common sails, but four more were added by the family. The mill is a timber-frame structure, octagonal in shape, and about 30 feet (9.1 m) tall, with a rotating cap powered by eight vanes with canvas sheets. The grindstones in the middle of the mill are Fall River granite; the upper one, which is connected to the power mechanisms, rotates six times for each turn of the mill's main shaft. In 1916 Benjamin Boyd removed the original vanes and powered the mill using a gasoline engine. It is one of only two historic windmills (out of what was estimated to be more than thirty) to survive on Aquidneck Island. Boyd's Mill features prominently on the town seal of Middletown. The windmill was restored by the Middletown Historical Society after receiving it as a donation in 1990 and moving it to Paradise Valley Park in Middletown. The windmill is open to the public on Sunday afternoons in July, August and September. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

Bradley Hospital

Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital, known as Bradley Hospital, is in East Providence, Rhode Island. As of 2024, it is the only psychiatric hospital devoted to children. A member of Brown University Health and teaching hospital for The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Bradley Hospital has established itself as the national center for training and research in child and adolescent psychiatry. It trains the next generation of behavioral health clinicians and investigates the causes of children’s mental health problems to develop effective therapies for improving their lives. Bradley Hospital is a private, not-for-profit hospital. Its subsidiary, Lifespan School Solutions, is the parent corporation of the Bradley Schools and provides services to other programs as well. They provide special education oversight, clinical coordination, technical assistance and administrative support to the schools. Areas of activity Beginning as young as six weeks old through adolescence, children and families at Bradley Hospital can receive treatment for a range of mental and behavioral health issues. In 2023, the hospital serviced 780 patient discharges, 2,622 outpatient visits, and 2,717 home heal care visits. Areas of treatment include: Anxiety Attention Deficit Disorder Autism Spectrum Disorder Bipolar Disorder Communication and Sensory Processing Disorders Co-Occurring Disorders Depression Eating Disorders Feeding Disorders Neuropsychology Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Risk Behaviors Trauma Psychosis Schizophrenia Self Harm Sleep Disorders Suicidality History Bradley Hospital opened in 1931 as the first children’s psychiatric hospital in the United States. The hospital was named for George and Helen Bradley's only child, Emma Pendleton Bradley, who was diagnosed with encephalitis at the age of seven. The disease left her with multiple disabilities, including epilepsy, intellectual disability and cerebral palsy. This tragedy sparked the Bradleys to conduct a worldwide search for a cure or a treatment for Emma's condition. Because psychiatry and neurology were in their infancy, hospitals were solely for adults and pediatric services were not yet available. The Bradleys arranged around-the-clock medical care for Emma at their summer home in Pomfret, Connecticut. After eighteen years of treatment, Emma showed no improvement. George and Helen began to accept their daughter's fate, but wanted to ensure that other families would not share their family's struggle. In their wills, both George and Helen Bradley requested that the Baton House, the family's Providence estate, be converted into a treatment facility for children. The board of trustees decided that more space and a less urban setting were necessary for the institution, and so the home on Eaton Street was sold and 35 acres of wooded land was purchased on the Barrington Parkway. The ground was broken in 1929, and two years later the institution opened its doors. See also List of hospitals in Rhode Island References
Wanskuck Park

Wanskuck Park, originally known as Metcalf Park, is a public park in the Wanskuck neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. The grounds, formerly the Metcalf family country estate, were given to the city in 1948 by Louisa Dexter Sharpe Metcalf. The park lies at the northern end of the Wanskuck Historic District. History The land that now forms Wanskuck Park was the country estate of Helen Adelia Rowe Metcalf (1830–1895), a principal founder of the Rhode Island School of Design, and Jesse Metcalf Sr. (1827–1899), one of the three founders of the Wanskuck Company, a major woolen goods producer. The Metcalfs established the estate around 1870, building a 2½-story, cross-gable-roofed house with a wraparound veranda on a hillside north of the mill. In April 1948, Louisa Dexter Sharpe Metcalf (1866–1959) — the daughter-in-law of the original owners and widow of their son, Senator Jesse H. Metcalf (1860–1942) — gave the homestead and grounds to the City of Providence for use as a public park, together with a $30,000 fund for its development. At her request, the park was initially named Metcalf Park. Landscape The Metcalf mansion was demolished by the city in 1949 in accordance with a provision of the gift, along with the estate's main barn; a stable that survived the initial clearance was removed in 1979 after repeated vandalism. The park retains elements of the former estate. Three outbuildings remain: a 1½-story caretaker's cottage with a veranda, a barn with a jerkinhead hay hatch, and a shed-roof garage. A stone wall runs along part of the Woodward Road frontage, and a wrought-iron gate survives at the entrance. A double row of trees marks the former carriage drive that once led to the mansion, whose foundation is still visible on the site. The grounds consist of an undulating expanse of lawn with informal plantings of trees and shrubs, with a wooded section at the northern end of the park. A loop path approximately a half-mile long runs from the Woodward Road entrance gates through the central field and the wooded area before returning; in total the park contains about a mile of walking trails, rated as very easy. In 1866, Helen Adelia Rowe Metcalf led the Metcalf family's donation of land and funds for the construction of the Roger Williams Chapel, which still stands directly across Woodward Road from the park entrance. Wanskuck Historic District Wanskuck Park is on the northern end of the Wanskuck Historic District, a mill village preserved on the National Register of Historic Places. The district also includes the Wanskuck Mill (1862–1864), the Steere Worsted Mill (1884–1886), Wanskuck Hall (1884), more than sixty company-built mill houses, and St. Edward Roman Catholic Church (1885–1889).

Bridgham–Arch–Wilson Streets Historic District

The Bridgham–Arch–Wilson Streets Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in Providence, Rhode Island. It is located southwest of downtown Providence, and was developed beginning in the 1840s as a suburban part of the city. It is roughly in the shape of a boot, roughly bounded by Cranston, Bridgham, Elmwood, and Harrison Streets. Most of the housing is architecturally reflective of the mid-19th century, with the Greek Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire styles well represented. Development in the area slowed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so there are only a modest number of Queen Anne, Stick style, and Colonial Revival properties. Most of the houses are either 1-1/2 or 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structures, and are generally set on fairly small lots. There are 175 primary buildings in the district, of which more than 150 are historically significant. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
