Hello
My name is Claire Cook and I have visited this site many times trying to find out information about the Howard Complex in Cranston RI and have noticed that you need pictures of many of the buildings that you have history on. I currently work in the Louis Pasteur Building 57 Howard Avenue and I can provide you current photos of each of the buildings remaining. If this is of interest to you, please let me know. The complex is an amazing place and some of it has already been demolished and from the looks of some of the buildings, more will be in the future. But, until that day, I can forward you pictures.
These are the buildings that I am aware of by name:
Louis Pasteur
Benjamin Rush
Simpson Hall
Barry Hall
Hazard Building
Barry Hall
The Virks Building
And there are many others that I do not have the names of.
Let me know if I can help.
We would love to see photos! You may email them to [email protected].
