The Quality Hill Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district on the east side of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This area was developed as an upper-class residential area between the 1850s and the 1940s, and its architecture reflects a cross-section of styles popular in that time. Most of its residential stock is single-family residences, and is generally set on ample lots, although there are areas of more dense construction. The most densely populated area is a section of the neighborhood which was cut off from the rest by the construction of I-95. The most prominent non-residential buildings are the Pawtucket Congregational Church, Saint Raphael Academy, Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church, and the complex of the Roman Catholic St. Joseph's Parish.The district main spine is Walcott Street which run eastward from the Seekonk River, and which provides a bridge across I-95 (as does Underwood Street) joining the two sections of the district. The eastern end of the district at Walcott is Bend Street. It extends northward as far as Lyon Street, and radiates south from Walcott on School, Summit, Maynard, and Arlington Streets. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Pitcher-Goff House
Pitcher-Goff House

The Pitcher-Goff House (formerly known as The Grand Manor), is an historic house at 58 Walcott Street in the Quality Hill neighborhood of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The house is architecturally eclectic, with a largely Italianate exterior, and a Late Victorian interior. The house was built for Elias B. Pitcher, a cotton textile manufacturer, in 1840. Later it was sold to Lyman B. Goff, another local industrialist, who made significant alterations to the interior, replacing a great deal of the older woodwork with more fashionable Queen Anne styling in 1881. He also modified the exterior, but these changes were largely limited to the porch, which also exhibits fine Queen Anne detailing.Goff deeded the house to daughter, Elizabeth Goff Wood, in 1922. In 1941 she donated the house to the Pawtucket Congregational Church for use by the local chapter of the American Red Cross. It has since served as a headquarters for the Boy Scouts of America, and in 1970 it was the first location of the Rhode Island Children's Museum. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In the early 2010s, it operated as an event and function space known as The Grand Manor. The house was purchased by a jewelry maker in 2017, who then departed the property not long after. In February 2020, local preservationists expressed concern that many of the details of the interior had gone missing, including stained glass at the top of the stairs, several chandeliers, and gates. The building was sold again in March 2020 to a local artist and contractor, who stated he appreciates the house as "a valuable part of Pawtucket’s cultural heritage" and intends to restore it as an art studio.
