The Mruk Fire Alarm building is in the process of changing hands from the town of Coventry to the Western RI Civic Historical Society. We are very excited to have stewardship of this piece of the town’s history. In this photo, you can see the Paine House in the backdrop and the fire alarm building in the forefront. The Mruk Fire Alarm building was once the town’s original blacksmith shop. Stay tuned for news to come for this building.
If you have interest in any of these and/or you have a talent you’d love to share with us, please visit us to see what we are all about and how you can help. When a lot of people donate just a little time, think of how much we can achieve together!
