Buttonwoods Beach Historic District
Buttonwoods Beach Historic District, Historic district in Warwick, United States.
Buttonwoods Beach Historic District contains Victorian residences along Greenwich Bay, featuring preserved architecture from the late 1800s and tree-lined streets.
Reverend Moses Bixby established this summer colony in 1871, drawing inspiration from Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard to create a religious retreat destination.
The district received National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1984 for its representation of 19th-century community planning and architectural development.
The beach area includes lifeguard services, shallow swimming waters for children, sun shelters, restrooms, and three miles of paths for outdoor activities.
A farmhouse from 1715 remains within the district, demonstrating the transformation of the area from agricultural lands to a planned summer community.
