Hop on the time machine, if you will, and find yourself in the heart of Narragansett's Earlscourt Historic District, Rhode Island. Though we share the sidewalks with modern roofing and traditional shingles, this soothing corner boasts a unique blend of old and new. Step back to when this area was a bustling summer hub, with buildings bearing the Stick Style and Shingle Style architecture. A few of these mighty structures can be traced back to the hands of McKim, Mead & White, with The Towers and the Sherry Cottages bearing their distinctive hallmarks.
Time has left its mark on these masterpieces, but a touch of the modern age has breathed new life into them. Yet, it's the haughty stone water tower that truly steals the show, standing sentinel like a timeless centerpiece. In this tranquil, time-warp oasis, it seems to flat-out defy the hands of time, preserving its classic essence even as the city bustles with modernity.
