Heading: RISD Parcel

Text: The first Cove Lands parcel is held by the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). The plaintiff RISD is a legislatively chartered Rhode Island nonprofit corporation and is the record owner of a three-story building located on the eastern side of South Main Street and the northern side of College Street in Providence and known as the Market House. This three-story building was constructed in 1773, after being funded by a lottery authorized by the General Assembly, and served as the center of commerce for the then-infant port city of Providence. Currently this building is utilized to house college classrooms and school offices. RISD acquired the title to this parcel of land by deed from the city of Providence, dated May 27, 1948, which was duly recorded in the city's land evidence records. B
