The East Side is a collection of neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city of Providence, Rhode Island. It officially comprises the neighborhoods of Blackstone, Hope (commonly known as Summit), Mount Hope, College Hill (once known as Prospect Hill), Wayland, and Fox Point.〔(Providence Neighborhood Profiles )〕〔http://204.17.79.244/profiles/maprnks/cen_mr/mr_unemp_lg.gif〕〔http://204.17.79.244/profiles/maprnks/cen_mr/cw_mfami_det.gif〕 The area is separated from East Providence, Rhode Island, to the east by the Seekonk River. To the west it is separated from the rest of Providence by the Providence River and Interstate 95. To the north, it borders Pawtucket, Rhode Island. To the south, it abuts Narragansett Bay, which is formed by the confluence of the Seekonk and Providence Rivers. Roger Williams founded Providence along College Hill. This area thus includes some of the oldest sections of the city. The spot where he landed after crossing the Seekonk River is marked by a small park in Fox Point. == Universities and schools == The East Side contains most of Brown University's facilities. These include the Main Green, the Rockefeller Library, the Pembroke Campus, and the School of Medicine. Many of the Rhode Island School of Design's buildings are along the slope of College Hill. The RISD Museum is located on Benefit Street. Private schools include the Moses Brown School, the Wheeler School, Lincoln School, School One, Providence Hebrew Day School, and the French-American School. Hope High School is located at the corner of Hope and Olney Streets. It is one of Providence's public high schools.〔(Hope High School Arts Community )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「East Side, Providence, Rhode Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
