The red building across the street is home to the Providence
Preservation Society which is responsible for having saved the historic buildings of Providence. In warmer seasons it gardens are a perfect spot for a picnic purchased at Geoff ’s just up on Benefit Street. The One Room Schoolhouse has a great history and was used for early classes by Brown University and was home to an early school to educate African American students. Next to the firehouse is a memorial to the first responders who went to the world trade center on the day of the 9-11 attack.
