Edgewood Historic District-Taft Estate Plat
The Edgewood Historic District—Taft Estate Plat is a historic district in Cranston, Rhode Island that is bounded by Windsor Road, Narragansett Bay, Circuit Drive and Broad Street. The district represents the final subdivision of a country estate amassed by industrialist Orray Taft (1793-1865). It was laid out in 1904 and most of its residential stock was built between 1905 and 1930. The average size of the lots was 5400 square feet, although there was some variance in size, and a one-acre plot was reserved for the Taft mansion (demolished c. 1952 and the land subdivided). The houses are architecturally heterogeneous, reflecting all of the major styles of the period; some properties were designed by Norman Isham.
