Spring 2015

In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Providence Preservation Society’s (PPS) Endangered Properties Program (MEP), I organized a spring program series featuring several of the buildings on the MEP list. The programs ranged from a tour of micro-living in downtown Providence to a panel discussion about a church’s plans to transform into the country’s first museum dedicated to the transatlantic slave trade. It’s unsurprising that everyone’s favorite program featured both beer and time travel. Equipped with a stereopticon, 100 pairs of 3D glasses and a silver screen, historian Ned Conners led a boisterous 3D exploration into 19th century Providence at a local bar.
