About this event
Meet the Author
Meet Me At The
Biltmore
Join the Edgewood Village on April 11th at the Edgewood Congregational Church,
Cranston as we engage with Amanda Quay Blount, author of the new book "Meet
me at the Biltmore," the first historical account of Providence’s iconic hotel.
If you’ve lived in Rhode Island, you may have gotten married there or even had
your senior prom there. Ms. Blount will tell us about the extensive research that
went into writing Meet Me at The Biltmore: 100 Years at Providence's Most Storied
Hotel. Her presentation will also include a chronological history of the hotel and
will introduce you to some of Rhode Island's most interesting, and in some cases,
long forgotten characters, from bootleggers to Buddy Cianci and everyone in
between. Discover the incredible tales, drama, scandal and secrets that make the
landmark Biltmore Hotel what it is today. Amanda Quay Blount hails from New
Jersey but came to Rhode Island in 2018 and was instantly enthralled by the
historic allure of the city. Amanda holds a degree in History from Rutgers
University and a Master's in Social Work and Community Development from
Washington University in St. Louis.
