Sectitmuu uumimmmbeu’ 7 Page 5 DESCRIPTION Taft Estate Plat The Taft Estate Plat occupies an area of about fourteen acres at the southern end of Edgewood, immediately abutting Ocean Avenue, the northern boundary of Pawtuxet village, and extending east from Broad Street to Narragansett Boulevard and Stillhouse Cove, the latter a shallow indentation in the shoreline of Narragansett Bay Its terrain is dramatic, extending level east front Broad Street to a thirty-foot bluff sloping down to Narragansett Boulevard and Stillhouse Cove. This grade change accounts for the plat’s atypical layout, which includes two differently configured streets leading down to the shore, and one along the crest which provides several spectacular house sites overlooking the bay Once the nucleus of a large country estate which Providence merchant and industrialist Orray Taft 1793-1865 began to assemble here in 1860, the tract’s original buildings and landscaping have all disappeared, except for a small dwelling at 2064 Broad St., which was probably a caretaker’s or gardener’s cottage. When laid out in 1904, this plat was the last portion of the Taft Estate to be subdivided. Today the Taft Estate Plat is a quiet suburban residential neighborhood of detached single- and multi-family dwellings set back on moderately-sized landscaped lots along tree-lined streets Eighty-five percent of the building stock dates between 1905 and 1930. The prevailing architectural types and styles within the area refiect this period of intensive development, and range from an early twentieth-century auto repair garage to contractor-built speculative rental property to imposing architect-designed homes for well- to-do professionals and businessmen. The Taft Estate Plat includes streets arranged in an irregular pattern, generally forming a curvilinear Y, with some straight segments intersecting it. At the north end, Windsor Road is aligned and graded to provide a straight link from Broad Street to Narragansett Boulevard. Circuit Drive appears to follow, at least in part, the original driveway of the Taft Estate. After entering straight from Broad Street, it swings into a loose S curve descending to the Boulevard. Selkirk Road runs south from Windsor, curving into Circuit to form the Y. Stratford Road runs one short block from Broad Street to Selkirk. At the south end of the district, Commercial Street extends north across Ocean Avenue to connect with Circuit Drive. Originally platted with seventy-nine lots averaging just over 5,400 square feet in area, the Taft plat was a typical streetcar suburb in terms of average lot size, but atypical in its wide range of lot sizes: from 4,100 to 8,300 square feet, with a single one-acre lot reserved around the estate’s main house the house was demolished ea 1952 and its lot has been subdivided. The Taft Estate Plat is filled with houses representing its evolution from farm to country estate to streetcar and early-auto suburb The majority date from the period beginning with the inception of the plat in 1904 and ending with the onset of the Great Depression in 1930 They represent the standard domestic types and styles XiS iSiiii uom mimii Na 1ii24-iiliiS mou United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet - - Property name Edgewood Historic District-Taft Estate Plat, Cranston, Providence County, RI.

A PAPER READ BEFOliE THE E. I. HISTORICAL SOCIETY, MARCH 23 AND APRIL 6, 1886, BY REV. J. P. ROOT. fLYMOUTH had its valiant Capt. Miles Standish. Prov- idence could boast of its brave and wise Capt. Arthur Fenner. If the former became more noted for his military exploits, the latter was more distinguished for commanding ability in the conduct of civil affairs. The Providence Cap- tain was less hasty and imperious in spirit than Standish, not so quick to buckle on the sword, but he may be pardoned for the possession of a more peaceable frame of mind. He certainly did not seek to make occasion for the practice of his military skill. It is generally admitted that Williams and the other colonists of our own plantation adopted and quite steadily pursued a more liberal and humane policy to- wards the Aborigines than prevailed in either of the colo- nies about her.( Fenner was not only a soldier, but was pos- sessed of statesmanlike qualities of no mean nature. He was also an expert engineer and^urveyDr. In his varied re- lations to town and colonial ^ife he shewed himself a man of admirable genius, with a mind well balanced and sagacious. His comprehensive qualities made him an energetic, shrewd and trustworthy leader in practical affairs. His age, midway between the older and the younger inhabitants, brought him into sympathy with men both of the first and second gen- erations.

WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR STUDY IN SCHOOLS BY CLARA E. CRAIG DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STATE OF RHODE ~LAND PREFArl'OllY NOTE. In providing for the issue of a series of historical studies relating to Rhode Island, adapted to use in school, the Department of Education is fortunate in being able to present, a~ an initial number, Mr. Eaton's study of "Roger Williams, the Founder of Providence." It was first delivered as an address before the Rhode Island Historical Society on the second of October, 1906, upon the unveiling of the ·tablets placed by the State to mark the site of the spring where the settlers first landecl. and the site of the Roger Williams Home Lot. As the founder 6f Providence, as a leading actor in the beginnings of Rhode Island, and as one of the few famous Americans of Colonial times whose names will endure, Roger Williams is certainly a great historical personage, of whose life and times every pupil in our schools should have knowledge.
