Partnering with the RI Indian Council

The Rhode Island Council is the owner of the Algonquin House at 807 Broad Street in the Elmwood Historic District in Providence. This Georgian Revival building has a hipped roof and with three colossal tetrastyle porticoes. The building was completed in 1895 as a Home For Aged Men, providing housing for indigent men over 60. It is currently the home of the Rhode Island Indian Council, other non-profit organizations and local businesses.

 

The organization contacted PRF when they received a grant from the City of Providence to repair their building using the standards of historic preservation. PRF inspected and documented the property and provided specifications for the repairs to be done using the US Department of the Interior standards for historic preservation. We also prepared detail drawings for the repairs. Finally we monitored the work to ensure that it was being done according to the plans. 



The City of Providence was granting CDBG funds to the RI Indian Council for the renovation of a new office space at the historic 807 Broad Street in Providence. PRF joined this historic preservation project as a partner, developing the scope of work needed for the historic property and providing construction oversight.
