Armory District, Providence, RI
The Armory District is situated on a hill to the west of downtown Providence. Since the 1850's and through the turn of the century, the District was considered a highly desirable residential neighborhood. The District later suffered as at least one-third of its families abandoned the area for suburban homes by the mid-1970's. The community has been revitalized over the last few decades and today is home to some of Providence's best parks, restaurants and nightlife.
