From introduction: "This report presents the findings and recommendations of a Historic Resources Reconnaissance Survey, conducted by historic preservation consultant Kathryn J. Cavanaugh on behalf of the City of East Providence and the R.I. Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission (which funded the project with a Certified Local Government grant). The primary goal of the project was to provide preliminary recommendations regarding individual properties and/or historic districts that merit consideration for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The survey covered three study areas, containing a total of 1,055 properties: A triangular area bounded by Taunton Avenue, Waterman Avenue, and Valley Street, containing 572 properties. A 1-1/2 mile stretch of Pawtucket Avenue, from Warren Avenue to the Silver Springs Golf Course, containing 172 properties. A 1-1/2 mile stretch of Willet Avenue, from Pawtucket Avenue to Crescent Park Avenue, plus three adjacent sub-areas corresponding to the boundaries of three early 20th century development plats: the Whitcomb Farm Plat of 1913, the Elm Tree Plat of 1924, and the Rose Land Park Plat of 1928. This study area contained 311 properties." Funding was provided in part by a 2012 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of East Providence (project number RI-12-2) administered by the Rhode Island State Historic Preservation Office (grant number 44-12-41946) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
