Topside Lounge: Between the Hope St. and the Rail Trail

JG Goff's Thames Street Landing: Good for Cocktails and Watching Sail Boats

Pawtuxet Says: I love whirlygigs and have several around our back yard. Along our way at the recent house tour, I spotted this ingenius rendition of back yard whimsy. Whoever did it has inspired me once again. I NEED MORE WHIRLY-GIGS!!This creative gardener (pic 2) has figured out a way...

Pawtuxet Says: Past generations used to create their own ropes for the seagoing vessels of the town in a funny structure known as a "rope walk". It had to be long and narrow to accomodate the length of the rope they were twisting into a sturdy length to service the men of the sea. A...
Preserving an 1800's lifestyle
Pawtuxet Says: The architecture of Bristol is dominated by the 1800's...from the mansions to the smaller Greek Revival cottages and the rows of homes on tree lined streets that stand with porches end to end ... rocking chairs inviting a moment of rest. The whole atmosphere of the town is...
Pawtuxet Says: I can't resist giving you more of the House Tour with all its joys.The mansard roof home (pic 1) was designed by my friend Lombard Pozzi, preservation architect. It was built on the site of the Sevenoaks carriage house which burned in 1980. The ten room home respects its...

Pawtuxet Says: This 1800's brownstone library has served Bristol well for many years. Great architecture...but unfortunately too small to contain the growing collections and activities. Thank goodness people are still using these old libraries. The library will be getting a new addition...
Pawtuxet Says: Adjacent to Colt State Park is the Coggeshall Farm Museum which is a living outdoor museum which dates to the 1790's. Sheep, chickens and cattle roam the grounds. Massive oxen handle the heavy work. There is an heirloom garden, a blacksmith shop and the original farm...
