The Looff Carousel at Slater Park in Pawtucket, RI was carved by Charles ID Looff of Brooklyn, NY in 1895. The carousel is only one of six carousels in the country that is still in it's original building; a twelve -sided building in the Looff style with a cupola and original stained glass windows made of Sandwich Glass. A band organ built in 1909 by the North Tonawanda Musical Instrument Works was purchased in 1996 and completes the carousel. The carousel was named the National Historic Carousel of the Year 2018 by the National Carousel Association. It is across the street from our RI Watercolor Society.
