Read More Who is PPS? 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 with a role to play in addressing a range of 21st-century challenges. Our mission is to support and advocate for historic preservation, thoughtful design, and people-centered planning. Learn more: About PPS | Staff | Board of Directors Show More How Can You Help?
