About this map

Industrial hubs and historic institutional grounds define the landscape around the Providence River and Seekonk River in the late 1880s. The dense street grids of the capital city give way to specialized complexes such as the Butler Hospital and the Dexter Asylum, while textile and manufacturing centers like the Sayles Bleachery, Conant Thread Co, and Dunnell Print Works line the water ways.
