With the assistance of a Certified Local Government grant from the State historic preservation office, the Town of North Kingstown developed a set of design guidelines for Wickford Village. The guidelines apply to buildings along Brown Street, and on Phillips Street at the south end of Brown Street. The guidelines are intended to ensure that any new construction, including additions to existing buildings, are both sensitive to and compatible with the surrounding National Register Historic District. The document also provides guidance regarding the maintenance of existing historic buildings.
For more information about the design guidelines, please contact the Planning Department at (401) 294-3331.
