Inscription. This building, erected in 1919, was a center of the early 20th century marine trade, which maintained small commerical and pleasure craft that called Pawtuxet Village their home port. In 1975, the old boat house was obtained by the City of Warwick from the Aspray family, and renovated in 1994 to serve as a community center and focal point for Pawtuxet Village.
