National Register of Historic Places listing. www.preservation.ri.gov I am pleased to inform you that a National Register nomination for Neutaconkanut Hill Park at 675 Plainfield Street in Providence, Rhode Island, will be considered by the Rhode Island State Review Board. The National Register is the Federal government’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation.
Listing in the National Register provides recognition for a community’s historic properties and assures protective review of Federal projects that might adversely affect their character. When properties are listed in the National Register, certain Federal investment tax credits for rehabilitation, State tax credits for rehabilitation, and other provisions apply. Listing in the National Register does not mean that limitations will be placed on the properties by the Federal government. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The Federal government will not attach restrictive covenants to the properties nor seek to acquire them.
The Rhode Island Review Board meeting at which this nomination will be considered will take place at 9:30 AM on Monday, December 8, 2025 at the Providence Preservation Society, 24 Meeting Street in Providence. First come/first serve parking is available along Benefit and North Main Streets. If you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact sarah.zurier@preservation.ri.gov for more information.
The listing in the National Register and the procedures by which a property owner may comment on or object to listing in the National Register. A copy of the nomination draft is posted on the Commission’s website at www.preservation.ri.gov/register/listings.php. If you have any questions about this nomination or the National Register, please contact Jeffrey Emidy, Executive Director, at jeffrey.emidy@preservation.ri.gov. encl.
