The Providence Preservation Society (PPS) was established in 1956 to respond to the proposed demolition of a number of 18th- and early 19th-century houses on College Hill. Unlike many historic preservation organizations which were formed to preserve a particular building, PPS has always been an advocate for neighborhood revitalization. From that small neighborhood group, PPS has grown into a multifaceted citywide preservation and planning organization. Our mission is to improve Providence by advocating for historic preservation and the enhancement of the city’s unique character through thoughtful design and planning.

How about Providence’s sense of place, that special character that is hard to define but that doesn’t exist in too many other places? If you value these things, along with livable, walkable neighborhoods, a vibrant downtown, and beautiful parks and open spaces, then PPS needs you. Find the right opportunity to get involved below.
