24 Meeting Street | Providence, RI 02903 | |
About: Built for public school classes in Providence, the Brick School house also housed Brown University classes before the completion of the “College Edifice” and again during the Revolution, when French troops occupied the campus. An early school for African Americans and the Meeting Street School for handicapped children have also occupied the schoolhouse. The Providence Preservation Society (PPS) rehabilitated this two-1/2 story brick structure with a hip roof and a five-bay facade in 1960 for use as its headquarters. The PPS Revolving Fund now occupies the structure.
