School Street, northeast corner Columbia Street, Hazard School
Large, 2-story, Jacobethan former-high school. Symmetrical
gable and cross-gable roofs and slightly projected oriels. First
story is granite, with stucco and half-timber above. Tudor-arch
main entrance has a scallop-shell-carved keystone cartouche.
Built with Hazard family support, this handsome and expensive
public school was designed by Providence architects Clarke, Howe
& Homer, who specialized in school design. The present building
replaced an earlier high school, on this site see #159, and in
turn has been superseded by the present South Kingstown High
School #110. C

intersection of Columbia Street and School Street, stands the
World War I Veterans Memorial Flagstaff. Erected in 1932, the
- elaborate base of the flagpole is masonry, with tablets, reliefs

eagle-decorated monument was erected in the bicentennial of
Washington’s birth. Miss Caroline’ Hazard substantially supported
efforts to create the Memorial. C -
