Annmary Brown Memorial is located within the premises of Brown University and is an art gallery and library. It also serves as a mausoleum and is housed in a 1903 building. The museum library is one of the six libraries within the university and also was home to 450 incunabula collection until it was moved to another museum. The museum holds a great collection of art and has a separate collection of Rush Hawkins on display.
This park embanked on the Providence River offers residents of College Hill and people from the nearby superior court a place to escape from the tumult. Its highlight is the World War Memorial, a 150-foot obelisk built from Rhode Island granite in 1929. The carved stone edifice stands majestically over the river and atop it sits a statuette of Victory. There are inscriptions that quote from famous Americans like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Abraham Lincoln along with a frieze that honors Providence citizens. Today the park is a great spot to walk along the greenway and enjoy the panorama of downtown over the river.
