Goddard Carousel
At the historic Goddard Carousel in Warwick, RI, Pointknown delivered a full existing-conditions capture of a culturally significant structure within Goddard Memorial State Park. Originally relocated to the park in 1931, the carousel required precise documentation to support preservation, analysis, and future restoration efforts.
Joseph Carrolo, known as “Rhode Island’s Carousel King,” was an immigrant from Naples, Italy, who began his career at Crescent Park at just thirteen years old—sweeping grounds, collecting tickets, and retrieving brass rings. Through dedication and hard work, he went on to own and operate several carousels across Rhode Island, including those at Oakland Beach and Lake Nipmuc in Mendon, Massachusetts.
Goddard Memorial State Park, which opened in the late 1920s, became the final home of Carrolo’s carousel. After removing it from Rocky Point following the 1930 season, the carousel was relocated to Goddard for the summer of 1931—where it quickly became a beloved attraction and enduring part of the park’s history.
