DESCRIBE THE PRESENT AND ORIGINAL If known PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Lying some ten miles off the Rhode Island mainland in the AtlanticOcean, Block Island was first seen by the French explorer Verrazzano,but it was not until 1614 that the first Europeans--under the Dutchexplorer Adrian Block--set foot on Block Island, then occupied by theNarragansett Indians. Actual white settlement began in 1662 with thearrival of sixteen families from the MassachusettsColony, and ten yearslater, in 1672, the island was incorporated as the Town of New Shorehamunder the jurisdiction of Rhode Island. But since there was no naturalharbor on the island, the development of what is now known as the Old Harboc’a concerned. - for over two centuries with the vital issue of providingfor a suitable landing. - -

The new iEland population, being agrarian, had settled in themiddle of the island to the South of the Great Salt Pond, andfor thefirst two decades a makeshift landing was maintained on the east side,about a mile southeast of the present governmentbreakwater. In 1680 ma breachway was cut into the Great Salt Pond, but the problem of shifting

- sands soon caused this to be abandoned, and the islanders again turnedto the islandls. east side where, in 1705, they built a pier near the -

foot of Dodge Street in the present day Old Harbor Village. The only zpublic roads ran north and south to the east of the Great Salt Pond,over what includes Water Street and Spring Street at Old Harbor, andfrom the landing at Old Harbot to the interior of the island, over today’sDodge Street. West along this latter road a village of sorts formed, butwhile this village centered a mile from the landing, two houses from this. Cera stand in Old Harbor where the two roads intersected at Dodge Street.Of the typical plain wooden, one-and-a-half-story, gable-roofed housesfound on Block Island well into the beginning of the nineteenth century, -

the John Hooper House Map # 11. dates from the mid-eighteenth century.-A one-and-a-half-story house of similar type, the Andrew Dodge House

Map # 91 dates from the- Federal period, and though small, has handsome -

smetrical proportions. The windows are larger than those of the Hooper ‘

House, andit has a central classicizing entrance with sidelights,pilasters and entablature. Both these houses üe now vacant and are inconsiderable disrepair. -

The original 1705 pier of planiced pilings, backed up with stonesand boulders, had been destroyed in the Great Gale of 1815, and a newlanding was provided simply by driving oaken piles into the shallow waterbelow Water Street. The small and peculiar Itsiock Island boatsll couldmoor here; capable of fishing miles offshore, theseboats -- open twomasted lapstraked double-enders -- were nonetheless light enough to bepulled ashore when storms came-up. So with a legitimate fishing industrydeveloping, the harbor grew until fifty years later when there were overa thousand such poles, placed in rows, from which the name of Pole Harborwas derived. But such a primitive mode of landing was inadequate for theneeds of the island, and chiefly through the efforts of the Hon.Nicholas Ball, State Representative from New Shoreham, funds were appropriated by the U. S. Congress to construct the present breakwater harborbetween the south end of Crescent Beach and the rising terrain of the

of Sl55,000, two rip-rap breakwaters of heavy mainland granite, the major

and outer extending 1500 feet to the north and the other extending 1000feet to the east, form the Inner Harbor. An inner basin, constructed to

protect the equipment engaged in building the breakwater, was intended tobe dismantled but was left at the request of the islanders. Today, withonly minor improvements, and the addition of a new ferry -landing where -

the fish shacks were originally, the harbor and basin remain essentiallyunchanged - - - -

The establishment of a National Harbor began a new era for Block -,

-- Island. The first public house had been built in 1842, overlooking the -

- landing on the site of the later Adrian Hotel now the !irst Baptist ChurchMap 4 25, and by the late 1850’s three more were operating with combined

- -- acconunodationsfor about 100 * But it was the overnment breakwater, and -

the fact that large steamships could now make the island .a stopping place,which fully opened Block Island; and the Harbor District, experiencing

- the bulk of this new growth, usurped from the old Town Centre relative -

dominance of the island and becameone of the leading coastal resorts-of- the United States. Most resort facilities concentrated - along Water Streetand Dodge Street while other hotels and cottages were established on more -

- spacious lots to the south along Spring Street and High Street, and a town- - square of sorts developed-at the intersection of Water, High, and Spring- -Streets. - . . . - - -

The spring House together with the Annex Map * 31 is the best pre- -

served example of the full hotel as developed on Block Island. Built an

1852 it was considerably expanded during the early 1870’s, including - -

theconstruction of an annex set at right angles to the main building. - -

Three stories high with a flared mansard, cupola, and full-length one-story

veranda, it was second only to the OceanView . Hotel in size, being able

to take about 250 guests. The ogee gables of the Annex were new archi

tectural developments. About halfway between the Spring House and the

landing, set back from the shore on High Street, is the Hotel Manisses,Map3 26, rebuilt to its present appearancein 1882. Not so large asthe Ocean View or Spring House, the Manisses was the best furnished.Architecturally similar to these, it is dominated by the projecting

- central tower with its pagoda cupola. Though the rear wing has now beencondernmed, the main block of the Manisses is currently being restored.The Woonsocket House flow the Block Island Historical Society, Map 4 22at the corner of Dodge Street and Corn Neck Road is typical of the several -

less formal mansard.boardinghouses built here in the 1870’s. -

More picturesque, with its mansard .interruted by three. large gothicdormers-, is the Surf Cottage Map 4 3 on Dodge Street, which dates from

- 1876. With two different additions to either side, a staggered effect- of story height results which, effective on its siting at the beach’s -

edge, is unified by a con-mon veranda and a dominating cupola. The three -

gothic gables are used again on the Gothic Cottage Map 4 8,-also onDodge Street. 1886 saw the introduction of the "Queen Anne" Style in thelavish, though modestlr:sized, Adrian Hotel, Map 4 25 located on Spring

- Street near the Square. This latter building was unfortunately extensivelyremodeled in 1952 in a manner quite unsympathetic with its original design,

- as the new home of the First Baptist Church. The Perry Cottage Map 4 18on High Street, also altered, is another example, though less sophisticate,of the Queen Anne style. - -

-- The City Drug Store Map 4 ,39 on the Square at the intersection ofHigh, Spring, and Water Streets another typically mansardedstructure,is noteworthy for its unusual two-story porch with detailing that cornpletely dominates the building. . Opposite is the Old Roller Skating RinkMap #38 more recently the Empire Theatre; cons&ucted near the end of-the nineteenth century; though in only fair condtion, it remains well preserved. Later shops along Water Street are more urban, with large plainer

-blocks fronting more directly on the street line, and with ornamentationmore strictly textural. . -

Resort growth hadpeaked by the 1890’s and thus the Queen Anne andShingle Styles were never firmly established. - Norton’s Cottage Map 4 37

on Water Street, the best example of the Shingle Style, was completely -

rebuilt in the early part of this century when it was converted into use

as a store. The opening of the Great Salt Pond as the New Harbor in 1900

- led t0 the construction of a few resort buildings in that vicinity and the

establishment of a cable car connection between the two harbors, with a

branch to the bath houses on Crescent Beach wherethe present State Beach

- facilities are. Chapel Street had been opened in 1885 with the erection

of the First Baptist Church Map 4 1, later burned. And about the turn

of the century, the Roman Catholic Church Map 4 2 designed in a simp- :lified classic revival style was also built on Chapel Street; otherwise-

- the street remained largely undeveloped. A fire at the outset of thetwentieth centuryon Water Street severely damagedthe National HotelMap # 32, Narragansett Hotel Map 4 33, and Ocean Cottage Map 4 34,but they were rebuilt by 1910, all retaining the earlier vernacula± mansarmode which still dominated Old Harbor architecture, although the Ocean -

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE -

During the 200 years prior to the development of resort facilities,Block Island was basically a self-sufficient community, dependentupon farming and fishing for its economy, isolated from the mainland-

and its culture. Old Harbor’s significance lies chiefly in its I -

transformation from a landing site for this early community and modest-fishing hamlet, to one of the most popular resorts in America.

- - The home of the Itablest sea-going undecked craft in the world",as the Block Island boat was then termed, Pole Harbor becamea sig- . -

- nificant processing center for swordfish, tuna, mackeral and cod.But by 1867 Congress had recognized the necessity of providing a harbpr -

-- of refuge here near the entrance of Long Island Sound, and the con-struction of the breakwater at Old Harbor was to be the most importartt

- factor to the development of New Shoreham. As early as 1870, theisland, was being celebrated as the "Bermuda of the North’t, far from -

the "malarial and contaminating land breezes", and yet within a fite-. -- --

- hour.sail from New York or Boston and only two hours from NewportLU and New London_ With its "health giving qualities of breezes laden -:LU -.:,with sulphates of magnesium and potassium, chloride of sodium, bromine,

- - - iodine, and others of naturets remedies distilled fresh from the oceanlaboratories", Old Harbor’s development paralleled those of the isiesF

- of Shoals off the New Hampshire coast, and Mt. Desert Island off the PMainecoast. So while the island had begun to develop its recreational-

‘ potential as early as the middle of the nineteenth century, by the - --

- 1880’s its reputation as an elegant Victorian resort was established.

Old Harbor was the only considerable ‘village, with most of the-

- hotels and stores, the postoffice and telegraph station, the mechanicshops, the -halls and saloons, facilities for sailing and sport fishiig,bowling, tennis, golf, and the like.’ A boardwalk ran to.thé-, ‘ -- - -

bathing pavilion at Crescent Beach, and when the New Harbor was oened -

up in 1900 in the Great Salt Pond, a railway connected-the two harbors -

with a spur running to the beach. In a two-month summer.seasozi,,-Old -

Harbor was accommodating in more than thirty hotels and cottages-:3,000 visitors, nearly, triple the year-round population of the islandc

-- ‘The Spring House, the largest of the hotel left,, could take more than250 guests at a time, and on its 25 acres of land offered tenniscourts, a baseball field, and the Mineral Springs.
