Providence, Rhode Island, in the late nineteenth century was a city built on water power, steam, and the Narragansett Bay trade. Textile mills lined the Blackstone and Woonasquatucket rivers, and by then the city's jewelry and silverware shops had made it a national center for precious metalwork. Ships from its harbor carried goods along the coast and beyond, while railroads tied the city to Boston and New York. Residents of the time knew the city as a manufacturing town with a long past, anchored by Brown University on its hill above the downtown, and the spires and wharves shown in this view reflect that mix of commerce, learning, and religious life.
