'Scenes in Providence', 1872. Westminster Street and grounds of Rhode Island Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island, USA. 'Grace Church, of which we have a sketch in the picture of Westminster Street, was built in 1845, of brown-stone, after a plan furnished by Mr. Richard Upjohn...the State Hospital...stands...above the sea, open to the breezes of the bay, and commanding a beautiful and extended prospect. The area which surrounds the buildings covers twelve acres; and its graceful undulations of surface, shaded walks, lofty trees, and artistic shrubbery, reflected in a miniature lake, combine to make it one of the most attractive spots within the circuit of the city'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
