About this map

Industrial Providence and its surrounding mill towns are documented here during a period of massive late-19th-century expansion. The urban core is flanked by institutional landmarks like the Butler Hospital and the Dexter Asylum, while the river valleys teem with the manufacturing power of the era. Prominent industrial sites such as the Sayles Bleachery, Dunnell Print Works, and the Conant Thread Co. demonstrate the textile and finishing trade that defined the local economy.
