Jeff, I see we're back on Benefit Street in Providence, Rhode Island.

That we are. We've been here twice before, actually.

Visited the shunned house just up the street.

And we looked for Edgar Allen

pose broken-hearted ghost nearby too. That's right. Yeah but this time we're

looking for something more tangible than just a story. This time we're

looking for a legendary landmark.

Okay, our destination is just up there by the Providence Athenaean.

The Athenaeum is a gorgeous building.

Yeah, it is.

Nestled here in College Hill, the library was built in 1838

almost looks like it would fit in Washington, D.C. with its stone columns.

What we're here to see is something right in front of the Athenaeum.

It's a magical and enchanted structure that they say has the ability to transport you.

We're back on Benefit Street in Providence, searching for Rhode Island's first water fountain.
