Description
City of Providence, from Prospect Hill', 1872. The port city of Providence, Rhode Island, USA, was founded in 1636. 'There are more wooden buildings in Providence than can be found in any other place in the United States. One may travel over large districts of the city without seeing a house of stone or brick. At the same time, it may be noted that the proportion of beautiful and stately mansions, many of which are built of stable material, is uncommonly great; and these private dwelling-houses are often surrounded by spacious and cultivated grounds, filled with flowers and shaded by ornamental trees'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American . Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]. Artist Robert Hinshelwood. (Photo by The Print Collector/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
