It's not that old a building -- the face plate said 1955. Is that possible?






What's the story behind this artifact? What's it waiting for and what was behind the facade? Because, right now, there's a open parking lot, which, you know, of which we have plenty.

A carpetbaggah? Been called worse. At least I don't have a Rhode Island accent.

Besides, I like to leave the question open so people can give their recollection of the building.

I was hoping there was some notable, nefarious scandal attached to it.

It involves development of a property downtown. Of course there's nefarious scandal.

Lots of great ornamentation in Providence's splendid architecture. Where is it?

That's the building that houses Rhode Island State Archives, Westminster St. @ Snow St.

Where?

One financial plaza. I worked there for 6 years, I'd recognize that in a heartbeat!
