Bristol Statehouse Foundation

The Bristol County Statehouse was constructed in 1816 as 1 of 5 locations for meetings of the Rhode Island House of Representatives and Senate.

The Bristol Statehouse Foundation was organized in 1997 to acquire, restore and reuse the Statehouse building, located at 240 High Street on the Bristol Common. The building and site (200' by 200') was purchased for $1.00 from the State, but the decayed condition has necessitated the expenditure of $1.4 million to bring it up to code and into new uses. It is currently at that level, though additio

nal work is needed to insure the accuracy and completeness of the restoration/preservation project. The Foundation is a citizens group formed to preserve the building, restore its structure and provide new uses that will ensure its vitality well into this new century.
