Once located on the corner of Putnam Pike and Smith Ave. in front of St. Thomas Church – Greenville, R. I. The trough still exists, and is presently located on the Greenville Common.
The building in the background no longer exists, and the “Kountry Kitchen Restaurant” no occupies the land.
Sometimes called “The Oaks” because two massive oak trees stood to either side of the entrance on Putnam Pike.
