The 2014 Festival starts on Saturday in an enclave of homes within the College Hill neighborhood, between Brown University and the Fox Point neighborhood. Approximately ten houses will be open for touring in this area, which includes Cooke, Manning and Hope Streets.
The tour continues on Sunday across town on the edge of Providence’s South Side at Pearl Street Lofts, the location is an old industrial mill complex converted into live, work and retail space. Built between 1842 and 1857, the complex underwent an adaptive reuse development from 2002 to 2004 and today houses 55 units of rentable, buyable and affordable residences and work spaces.
