They date as early as c.1860 and as late as c.1900. Many were company-built, providing an alternative to multi-unit housing. Of this last type of housing some 30 examples carl be found. Unlike the cottages just described, they follow no one pattern, ranging from 1-1/2-story, flank-gable, 2-unit structures to 8-unit, 2-story, hip-roofed buildings.. There are even two mansard-roofed former rooming houses. It appears that the multi-unit buildings were clustered off the main streets and consciously’ arrayed to avoid the look of a typical company town. Authorship plays a distinctive role in Peace Dale’s visual coherence. As noted, the primary era of development here was between 1860 and 1895. Throughout that period one man, Rowland Hazard II who in association with other members of his family owned and operated the mills, had control over Peace Dale’s architectural development. He was himself an amateur architect and designed quite a number of structures, beginning, with the mill and the office building erected in 1856 #37E and 40, the 1872 worsted mill #37F, the Congregational Church #104, a whole series of stone-arch bridges erected in the early 1880s #35, 78, 92, 93, 162, and an addition to the church’ built in 1895. Other buildings are attributed to Hazard, notably the mill office #37A of 1881. He was’ responsible for building dozens of’ other structures, particularly mill houses. The introduction and prevalence of the L-plan cottage in Peace Dale is credited to. Rowland Hazard II. He may have designed many of these cottages, but only four are presently attributed to him: two early, nominally "Gothic" cottages #88 and 114, and a pair of Queen Anne L-plan cottages on Kingstown Road #45 and 46. Moreover, Rowland Hazard called upon a professional architect with whom he particularly liked to work, Frank Angell, to design at least two major Peace Dale buildings: the railroad station #82 and the Hazard Memorial #38. Angell probably also designed The Acorns for Hazard and certainly planned alterations to the building #71. Frank Angell’s hand is. likely also found in severallater - buildings, among them a multi-unit mill house on Kersey Road #9 and a group of company-owned houses on Brown Street, Church Street, and Indian Run Road dated to the late 1890s #149-151, 154, 164-167. - Finally, the ambience of Peace Dale augments its unity. Peace Dale is a very picturesque, quiet, attractive village, casual in layout yet with a certain quality of kemptness and amenity which sets it apart. Though the mills are the focus, they do not-dominate the scene. This is not,the sort of factory

At Peace Dale, there is a visual balance between mill, civic structures, and the residential sector. The visual quality of Peace Dale is such that the beautifully landscaped Hazard Memorial can harmonize with the mills across the road, and the Memorial’s grounds can be graced both by a whimsical stone watering trough designed by Rowland Hazard #36 and by a magnificent bronze monument, "The Weaver," by Daniel Chester French #39. The ambience of amenity makes it all work. Detailed descriptions of individual properties are contained in the inventory which follows. Page 7
