An aerial photograph showing Huntington Industrial Park, formerly part of the West Elmwood neighborhood. The construction of RI Route 10 and a nation wide urban renewal movement in the mid 20th century led to the demolition of the neighborhood in favor of highway and trucking oriented developments. Thousands of people were displaced as a result of the redevelopment.
