The Prospect Heights Housing Project is a historic public housing complex at 560 Prospect Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The project consists of 35 brick-faced two-story rowhouses, each containing between 6 and 10 units, and a single-story brick administration building, set on 21 acres (8.5 ha) in the southern part of the city. The complex was developed in 1941-42, with funding assistance from the United States Housing Authority, a New Deal-era housing initiative of the federal government. It is the only complex of this type in the state, and has only seen relatively minor alterations.[1]
The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[2]
