At 10.6 m. is the Cranston-Warwick boundary line. The 42 -square-mile city of Warwick has no metropolitan center; within its limits are more than a dozen villages separated by large tracts of woodland and open fields. At 11.5 m. US 1 bears right on the old Boston Post Road, the route between New York and Boston, which has been heavily traveled since Colonial days. In this flat and sparsely forested section is the State Airport, 12.9 m. (L), opened in the spring of 1936.

There is something cool about Art Deco and Art Moderne buildings and the airport building is no exception. I have passed this many times and never really noticed it until I targeted it on this trip.
