Providence Preservation Society Publishes Histories of Brook Street Homes Brown University Plans to Demolish
The Providence Preservation Society has published new building histories of 277 Brook Street and 281–283 Brook Street in Fox Point, two historic homes that Brown University intends to demolish in 2027. Both were occupied at times by members of the Fuller family, which ran Fuller Iron Works in Fox Point for almost a century. Brown is seeking an amendment to its Institutional Master Plan that includes the demolitions of the Brook Street houses and a building on Charlesfield Street; the Providence City Plan Commission was scheduled to hear the request at its November 17, 2026 meeting, where public comment is welcome. The second history is at 281–283 Brook Street.
