The Quality Hill Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district on the east side of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This area was developed as an upper-class residential area between the 1850s and the 1940s, and its architecture reflects a cross-section of styles popular in that time. Most of its residential stock is single-family residences, and is generally set on ample lots, although there are areas of more dense construction. The most densely populated area is a section of the neighborhood which was cut off from the rest by the construction of I-95. The most prominent non-residential buildings are the Pawtucket Congregational Church, Saint Raphael Academy,^[2] Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church,^[3] and the complex of the Roman Catholic St. Joseph's Parish.^[4]
