Historic Map - Providence, RI - 1896
Description
View of Providence, Providence County, R.I., 1896 / drawn & published by M. D. Mason.
This panoramic print of Providence, Rhode Island, as seen from the dome of the new State House, was drawn by May D. Mason and published by Providence Journal Co. in 1896. Providence was founded at the head of Narragansett Bay in the 1630's by theologian Roger Williams. When Rhode Island became a state in 1790, Providence was named state capital.
Providence boomed during the American Industrial Revolution as many new manufacturers emerged early-on to take advantage of the marketing options of the era. Cotton goods were manufactured and furniture made in the established factories of Providence, earning it a head start on American-made manufactures.
Providence was well known in the 1890's for its fine jewelers and its skilled clock and nautical equipment makers.
The illustration shows the railroad yard and station with the port in the distance. The illustration was a supplement to the Providence Sunday Journal, Nov. 15, 1896.
