Saint Georges Roman Catholic Church is also in close
proximity to the Blackstone Boulevard Park in Blackstone.
Blackstone is one of Providence’s residential neighborhoods.
It is located in the northeastern part of the city. It is
bounded by the Lloyd Avenue to the south and by the Hope
Street to the west. Blackstone’s major thoroughfare is a
street named after it, the Blackstone Boulevard.
Blackstone is a relatively new part of Providence. Because
of its distance from the city proper, its development, which
only started during the late 19th century, has been very
slow. When a second public horse car line was put in place
and completed, the Blackstone’s connection to the more
advances areas of Newport strengthened. Through the new
lines of connection came growth and progress. But what
became the catalyst for development in the area was not the
car lines, but the completion of the beautifully landscapes
Blackstone Boulevard in 1894.
During the 20th century, a number of buildings were put up.
These include the aforementioned Central Baptist Church, the
Saint Sebastian’s Roman Catholic Church and the Temple
Emanuel. The rise of these buildings triggered the
construction of more structures in Blackstone.
Currently, Blackstone stands as one of the wealthiest
neighborhoods in Providence. Within it are two parks, the
Blackstone Boulevard Park and the Lippit Memorial Park. The
Blackstone Boulevard Park, consisting of over nineteen acres
of parkland, is situated between the lanes of the Blackstone
Boulevard. The Lippit Memorial Park, on the other hand, is
near the Pawtucket border at the intersection of Hope Street
and Blackstone Boulevard.
Blackstone is also home to Rhode Island’s only private
mental hospital, the Butler Hospital. Located off the main
boulevard, the hospital, founded in 1844, offers
substance-abuse and psychiatric treatment programs that are
among the best in America.
