Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Rhode Island Houses: An Historical and Architectural Study The present book is the result of much observation and study of the early colonial work in Rhode Island. Yet it can hardly be said to have exhausted even so small a subject as this would seem to be. Newport and the Narragansett country each deserve a book by themselves, and each needs more complete exploration than we have been able so far to give them. As far as the book goes, however, we claim for it considerable accuracy, and whatever may be the reader's opinion of the theories put forth in the text, he may rest assured that the drawings are veritable historical data. Every plan, elevation and section is based upon measurements of the house it illustrates; and the perspectives are made - two from pencil sketches made on the spot, the rest of the number from photographs. We have thus personally examined, sometimes from garret to cellar, every house described in the text, and our thanks are most heartily tendered to the courteous owners and occupants who allowed us to explore, measure and sketch at our leisure, and often shared our enthusiasm.

Book excerpt: Perhaps no village in Rhode Island can boast the history of Kingston, or Little Rest as it was called. Once a seat of government (its library was one of Rhode Islands five state houses), Kingston has been home to some of the states most illustrious residents as well as the now sprawling University of Rhode Island. A center of intellectual life long before the university began, Kingston was characterized by social, civic, and dramatic clubs, academies for both men and women, taverns for the weary traveler, and an imposing church atop Kingston Hill whose influence was felt broadly in the village. More than 200 photographs take the reader back to nineteenth-century Kingston, where Stephen Knowles waits atop his carriage to take travelers to Kingston Station, hat maker Cyrus French regales the menfolk in Joe Reynoldss tavern with his expansive stories, and the villagers gather on a summer evening to listen to a musicale on the librarys lawn. Within Kingstons pages, the reader can meet people like Solomon Fayerweather, the village blacksmith and church sexton with a unique wisdom about village doings; and Quaker Billy Rose, whose fine weaving work was sought by the likes of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt. See the familiar, Colonial-style houses that still line Kingstown Road as well as others that have fallen victim to the wrecking ball. Photographs of nearby Biscuit City and West Kingston are also included. These photographs, mostly from the collection of the Pettaquamscutt Historical Society, chronicle church, school, and business life in this picturesque village that has played such an important role in Rhode Islands history.
