The Richard N. Fontaine Real Estate Agency began in 1969 with Richard N. Fontaine as the sole broker/agent. Shortly thereafter he moved from his home office to an office in the Brown Caroll Building located on North Main Street. Outgrowing that space a year later, Mr. Fontaine moved to a suite on Eddie Dowling Highway in North Smithfield where he hired his first secretary, high school classmate Patricia (Pratt) Robitaille. As the agency grew, he moved three more times within the City of Woonsocket until in 1988 when he opted to erect a brand new 6,000 sq. ft. brick contemporary building highlighting the comer of Social and Cumberland Streets to accommodate 25 full and part time agents as well as staff employees. In March of 1989, Mr. Fontaine was selected to be Rhode Islands' first PRUDENTIAL Real Estate affiliate.
As times changed and more agents utilized a home office with the availability of the internet, the need for a large office building also changed. Mr. Fontaine moved the office 2 more times to the present location of 1028 Park Avenue ironically making a "Full Circle" to directly across the street from the home he was born in at 1087 Park Avenue.
