Constance Witherby Park
Constance Witherby Park is an historic park at 210 Pitman Street, Wayland, Providence, Rhode Island. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The park was donated in 1929 by Mr. and Mrs. S. Foster Hunt in memory of Mrs. Hunt's daughter by her first marriage Constance Witherby (1913–1929). It was landscaped by then-Superintendent of Parks Ernest K. Thomas. The park occupies the space between Waterman Street and Pitman Avenue, across from the Salvation Army. It is a small, heavily wooded park (just over 100,000 square feet) with many trees and a few park benches. The centerpiece of the park was once a bronze sculpture, called "A Memorial to Young Womanhood (or The Spirit of Youth)", by sculptor Gail Sherman Corbett (1871 – 1952). The sculpture depicted a young girl wearing a windblown dress, in homage to the spirit of young Constance who died of heart failure just before her 16th birthday while climbing in the Swiss Alps.

Providence, Rhode Island
Providence is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. One of the oldest cities in New England, it was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, a Reformed Baptist theologian and religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He named the area in honor of "God's merciful Providence" which he believed was responsible for revealing such a haven for him and his followers. The city developed as a busy port as it is situated at the mouth of the Providence River in Providence County, at the head of Narragansett Bay. Providence was one of the first cities in the country to industrialize and became noted for its textile manufacturing and subsequent machine tool, jewelry, and silverware industries. Today, the city of Providence is home to eight hospitals and List of colleges and universities in Rhode Island#Institutions, eight institutions of higher learning which have shifted the city's economy into service industries, though it still retains some manufacturin ...

National Register Of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance or "great artistic value". A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property. The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966 established the National Register and the process for adding properties to it. Of the more than one and a half million properties on the National Register, 95,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts. For most of its history, the National Register has been administered by the National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. Its goals are to help property owners and inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
