Additional Details:
The building was built 1760-1762 as a Court House, used as a State House until 1900, and is now used by the Sixth District Court. It was the site where Rhode Island renounced British rule on May 4, 1776, becoming the first free and independent republic in America. A tablet commemorating this event was placed on May 4, 1913.
