Crescent Park Looff Carousel Bullock's Point Avenue East Providence, Rhode Island
Photographer: Gail Durfee, Manager -2000

Crescent Park Looff Carousel: Built about 1895--most of the carousel figures date from 1905 to 1910--this large carousel is the earliest, most elaborate, and probably best preserved of the handful remaining of more than 100 carousels built by Charles I.D. Looff, one of the foremost manufacturers of carousels in the United States. It is complete with its original 14-sided shed and early 20th century band organ and lighting.
