Earlscourt Historic District

Nine residential properties built along Earles Court, between Gibson Avenue and Noble Street, showcase uniform Shingle Style architecture designs of the 1880s.

The district rose during the height of Narragansett Pier's coastal resort era, with notable architects McKim, Mead & White creating four distinct Sherry Cottages.

The residential properties demonstrate the preferences of wealthy summer residents who selected prominent architects to design their seasonal houses in Rhode Island.

The district includes properties on Gibson Avenue, Woodward Street, and Westminster Street, with a stone water tower marking the center of Earles Court.

The district maintains its original street layout from the 1880s, including a stone water tower that splits the main roadway into two sections.
