The "Squares" of Providence...

[f1rehead]

I should have just Googled for Hoyle Tavern. This is from the city's description of the West End neighborhood:

The area's first village developed in the northernmost section of the West End. In 1739, Obidiah Brown established Hoyle Tavern at the intersections of Westminster and Cranston Streets, and soon thereafter early settlers built eight houses in close proximity to the tavern. Now, that site is occupied by a large branch of Citizen's Bank.

Out of curiosity, who is "in charge" of tracking such things? Would that be the DOT? Who designates and then maintains "square" designations?

Garris, using Google-Maps new features, you could place markers with photos of all the squares of the city on a map. :-D
