 * Julian Herreshoff and his brother, in 1912, built the Minden in Providence at 21 Waterman Street. In 1977, The Minden was bought as a dormitory by Johnson & Wales College. When that changed hands, several surviving Minden residents moved to Wayland Manor in Providence, the only other luxury apartment building, as the Gardners had done prior to then. In 1999, Brown University acquired the building, but in the year 2000, with a new dormitory yet unfinished, Johnson & Wales rented back the building for housing for 145 of its students. Today, it is being renovated thoroughly for Brown students and is undergoing a major overhaul.

Chad Brown
By way of his mother, Sarah Brown (1773–1846), C.F Herreshoff III was a 4th great-grandson of Rev. Chad Brown, the progenitor of the Brown family of Rhode Island.
 * Template:Lineage

Nowadays, tens of millions of Americans have at least one ancestor who was in Rhode Island around 1600. But, with respect to males descending from Chad Brown, according to Galton-Watson probability, only a fraction of that number have an unbroken chain of paternal lineage maintaining the Brown surname from his line.

Algernon Sidney DeWolf Herreshoff's father-in-law, Halsey Chase (1865–1951), founded the Prudence Island-Bristol ferry in 1910 and operated it until 1929. Halsey's daughter (Algernon's wife), Rebecca "Becky" Chase (1894–1991), became the first female in New England to earn a Coast Guard pilot's license to operate and navigate passenger vessels.





Castle
Dwight Lyman Fulton, the carpenter, in his retirement, began making violins in Interlachen, Florida.

The main building, features, on the ground floor, a cook room, eating room, and pantry. The main room is above it, on the second floor, 34 x, with a massive fireplace, with an entrance from Crocker Park, named after Uriel Crocker (1796–1887), who donated a large portion of the land. The park was originally known as Bartol's Head. Stairs of oaken planks bolted onto a chain lead to another room of an entirely different period of architecture, 34 x, with a high domed ceiling – also with a large fireplace, slightly smaller than the one in the main room.

The so-called Tower Building is two stories. The lower floor is for social purposes, the upper, for a painting studio. The ceiling of the upper is open, to the apex of the copper roof, with oak beams exposed. The ceiling is 21 ft high. Within the walls is a secret stairway. There is also a small dungeon.

A stone stairway on the exterior leads to the main room. The windows are Gothic, small, but provide ample light. The doors are of solid oak planks, bolted together with half-inch steel rods.

Norman Herreshoff
Around 1948, Becky Herreshoff ( Rebecca Chase; 1894–1991) was instrumental in enlisting the support then Governor John Pastore, and galvanized Prudence Island landowners, led by her own family, in a campaign to block a hoof-in-mouth research laboratory for diseased cattle. In 1950, they rejected a purchase option extension to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Navy, who had been considering the site for building a $24.5 million (equivalent to $ million in ) research laboratory for hoof-in-mouth disease. The laboratory, in 1956, was established on Plum Island in Long Island Sound. In 1959, they sold the acreage to the Rhode Island Heritage Foundation, now managed by the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and now under the purview of Homeland Security.

A grandson of John Brown Francis Herreshoff (1850–1932), Norman Herreshoff (1903–1990), on June 8, 1926, graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture.

Norman and his second cousin,

A grandson of Caroline "Carrie" Louisa Herreshoff (1837–1908), Westcote Herreshoff Chesebrough (1908–1979), a lawyer,

Norman and Westcote jointly owned 450 acres on Prudence Island, comprising the abandoned Baker Farm.


 * Farms of Prudence Island


 * Baker Farm site, colonial era farm. But even before the American Revolutionary War was over, Prudence was being rebuilt. Providence businessman John Brown (1836–1803) acquired about a third of the island in compensation for his financial support for the war, and had three large homes built there. One of them, at Baker Farm, was later the site of the Prudence Inn. Brown's land on Prudence Island was later purchased by John Dennis of Caleb Hill?


 * They were operated by tenant farmers and were called the Baker, Bacon, and Potter’s Cove Farms. Before they were known by these names they were the Wanton Farm, the North Allen (or Chase) Farm and the North End (or Cove) Farm.
