miscellaneous houses of Providence

For my kids book class, I took some photos of some houses to put in my upcoming illustration assignment, but I like all of them a lot, so I will add them here to show some various architecture around Providence. These are all located on "College Hill".

The house on the right is called New Empire style of architecture (I looked that up in a book today).


This home is unusual here because it's been left weathered as most homes here are painted and fixed up, although apparently a lot of the historical houses had fallen into disrepair at one point, but not anymore.



This is one of the oldest houses I've seen in Providence, it was built in the 1750s. I like how the trim and siding are all one colour. I was surprised to read that this is called the Greek Revival style, but the more I notice the faux-columns by the door, and the triangle above the door, it makes sense. It was moved from down the street. Many houses around Providence were moved at one point or another.
