The Providence Preservation Society

Preserve the past. Endow the future.


About PPS

HeadquartersFormed in 1956 to respond to the proposed demolition of a number of 18th- and early 19th-century houses on College Hill, the Providence Preservation Society (PPS) has grown from that small neighborhood group to a multifaceted citywide preservation organization.

With a large membership, a professional staff, and countless volunteers, PPS is able to provide a broad range of services that fulfill its mission to improve the quality of life in the city of Providence through historic preservation and the enhancement of the built environment. PPS activities include the Festival of Historic Houses, advocacy, tours for school children, homeowner resources, and many other events and programs.
