Omni Providence Hotel

The Omni Providence Hotel (formerly The Westin Providence) is a Neo-Traditionalist skyscraper in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. At 100 m (328 ft), it became the fourth-tallest building in the city and the state on 15 February 2007, when the nearby slightly taller The Residences Providence topped out. Brick facades and a pitched roof adorn the building. With the completion of the Residences tower, that added 200 rooms, the Omni Providence now boasts 564 rooms, and is still the tallest and largest hotel in Providence, having usurped the title from the 1922 Providence Biltmore upon completion. History The Westin Providence was completed with 364 beds in December 1994 as part of a larger construction project which included the Rhode Island Convention Center and two parking garages. The hotel held its first gala in January 1995. The hotel was sold to Omni Hotels & Resorts in October 2012 and was converted to the Omni Providence Hotel on January 15, 2013. The hotel is connected by the Providence Skybridge, constructed by the architect Friedrich St. Florian in 2000, with the Providence Place shopping mall. COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic forced the Omni to close to the public in March 2020. The hotel found some financial relief in January 2021 when nearby Brown University leased 240 rooms to provide socially distanced housing for their students, including weekly laundry service and a COVID testing site on the third floor. Criticism William McKenzie Woodward, a local architectural historian and staff member of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission does not believe its styling to be architecturally innovative, calling it "yet another bland addition to the city's growing recent collection of buildings seemingly designed not to offend."

Omni Providence Hotel

El Omni Providence Hotel (anteriormente The Westin Providence) es un rascacielos neotradicionalista en el Downtown de la ciudad de Providence, la capital del estado de Rhode Island (Estados Unidos). Con 100 m de altura, se convirtió en el cuarto edificio más alto de la ciudad y el estado el 15 de febrero de 2007, cuando The Residences at the Westin, un poco más alto, alcanzó su punto máximo. Tiene fachadas de ladrillo y un techo inclinado. Con la finalización de la torre Residences, que agregó 200 habitaciones, el Omni Providence ahora cuenta con 564 habitaciones y sigue siendo el hotel más alto y más grande de Providence, después de haber usurpado el título del Providence Biltmore de 1922. William McKenzie Woodward, un historiador de arquitectura local y miembro del personal de la Comisión de Herencia y Preservación Histórica de Rhode Island no cree que su estilo sea arquitectónicamente innovador, y lo llama "otra adición insulsa a la creciente colección reciente de edificios de la ciudad aparentemente diseñados para no ofender." ​ Historia The Westin Providence, como se conocía entonces, se completó con 364 camas en diciembre de 1994 como parte de un proyecto de construcción más grande que incluía el Centro de Convenciones de Rhode Island y dos estacionamientos. El hotel celebró su primera gala en enero de 1995. El hotel se vendió a Omni Hotels & Resorts en octubre de 2012 y se convirtió en Omni Providence Hotel el 15 de enero de 2013.​ El hotel está conectado por el Providence Skybridge, construido por el arquitecto Friedrich St. Florian en 2000, con el centro comercial Providence Place.​ Pandemia de COVID-19 La pandemia de COVID-19 obligó al Omni a cerrar al público en marzo de 2020.​ El hotel encontró cierto alivio financiero en enero de 2021 cuando la cercana Universidad de Brown arrendó 240 habitaciones para proporcionar alojamiento socialmente distanciado para sus estudiantes, incluido el servicio de lavandería semanal y un sitio de prueba de COVID en el tercer piso.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Sitio web oficial del Omni Providence Hotel
One Citizens Plaza

One Citizens Plaza is a 13-story office building in Providence, Rhode Island situated at the confluence of the Moshassuck and Woonasquatucket Rivers. It is the headquarters of Citizens Bank. Standing at 180 ft (55 m), One Citizens Plaza is tied with the Brown University Sciences Library as the 13th-tallest building in the city. Finished in 1991, the building had been the first new high-rise in the city in over a decade. It was designed by Jung Brannen Associates of Boston and Robinson Green Beretta of Providence. Local architectural historian McKenzie Woodward does not agree aesthetically with the building, calling it "squat" and "graceless" due to its "dumpy massing and heavy detailing" in his book Guide to Providence Architecture, though he concedes that the floorplan is effective and that its location makes it very desirable commercial space.

One Financial Plaza (Providence)

One Financial Plaza, also known as the Sovereign Bank Tower and formerly known as the Hospital Trust Tower, is an international-style skyscraper that stands along Kennedy Plaza in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The building is the second-tallest in the city and state, surpassed in height only by the Industrial National Bank Building. Architecture Designed by John Carl Warnecke & Associates, One Financial Plaza takes the form of a rectangular prism with beveled vertical edges. The facade is clad in pre-cast concrete and travertine. The structure is topped with a wide masonry cap surrounded by lights that glow white at night; the light colors are changed to green and red for the Christmas holiday season, red for Valentine's Day and Saint Joseph's Day, and green for Saint Patrick's Day. Atop the building's roof is the highest helicopter pad in the state of Rhode Island. The Hospital Trust Tower was built to house the institution responsible for funding Rhode Island Hospital and stands adjacent to the original Rhode Island Hospital Trust Building. William McKenzie Woodward, a well-known architectural historian and staff member of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, does not agree aesthetically with the building, calling it a "lackluster addition to both the street and the skyline" saying that its "blunt mass" is made "more graceless" by its travertine curtain wall even though it is part of the Big 3, the most recognizable part of the Providence skyline that is also often seen in the television series Family Guy.

Our Lady of Lourdes Church Complex

Our Lady of Lourdes Church Complex is an historic Roman Catholic church complex at 901–903 Atwells Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island within the Diocese of Providence. Description Our Lady of Lourdes consists of four buildings: a church, rectory, school, and convent. The church is a steel-frame structure clad in brick, designed by Ambrose Murphy and built in 1925. The rectory is a two-story brick structure with hip roof; it was built in 1912. The original rectory, built in 1905 to a design by Walter Fontaine, was converted for use as a convent when the new rectory was built. The school building, also built in 1905 to a Fontaine design, is the largest structure in the complex, and originally served as both school and church until the student population grew too large for the educational facilities. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. History Our Lady of Lourdes was originally established for French Canadian immigrants to Rhode Island. There was often disputes between the French Canadian Catholics and Irish Catholics due to Our Lady of Lourdes operating in French opposed to English. In 1920, the parish decided to construct a new church. Architect and resident of the parish, Almanzor J. Samson offered to design the church. However, this was vetoed by the Bishop of Providence, William A. Hickey who instead selected the Irish-American architect Ambrose J. Murphy to design the church which was completed by 1928. Subsequent alterations involved adding French to the stained glass windows and stations of the cross in 1935. The schoolhouse constructed in 1905 was run by nuns from the Order of Jesus & Mary. They asserted that all education, except religion, would be in English opposed to French. However, by the 1930s, French was the predominant language of instruction. This continued until the school closed in 1969.

Église Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes de Providence

L'église Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes (Our Lady of Lourdes Church) est une église catholique historique située à Providence (Rhode Island) de Nouvelle-Angleterre (côte Est des États-Unis). Elle se trouve 901-903 Atwells Avenue. Dédiée à Notre-Dame de Lourdes, elle dépend du diocèse de Providence. Histoire et description L'église Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes est construite en 1925 par l'architecte irlando-américain Ambrose Murphy (1869-1949) en style néo-roman italien. La façade est éclairée par une grande rosace. Un haut clocher flanque le côté droit de la façade. La structure de l'église, de plan basilical, est en acier recouverte de briques. Lui sont adjoints aussi un presbytère de deux étages en briques avec un toit en croupe, construit en 1912 à droite de l'église actuelle. Le presbytère d'origine, construit en 1905 derrière l'église actuelle par Walter Fontaine est transformé en couvent pour les religieuses enseignantes quand le nouveau presbytère est édifié. Il s'agit d'un immeuble d'habitations aujourd'hui. L'école paroissiale est également construite par Walter Fontaine et servit au début d'église et d'école. Elle se trouve derrière l'église. Elle a été transformée en immeuble d'appartements dans les années 1990. La décoration intérieure de l'église Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes a été simplifiée dans les années 1970 à la suite d'une interprétation maximaliste post-conciliaire. Le maître-autel d'origine a été enlevé et ne reste plus au fond du chœur qu'une fresque représentant l'apparition de Lourdes devant sainte Bernadette entourée de trois anges, les murs étant recouverts de panneaux de bois. Quelques cartouches peints et fresques (dont une de la Cène) sont visibles sur la voûte en berceau. La table de communion de bois a été préservée. Le chemin de Croix est rédigé en français, car à l'origine cette paroisse a été fondée en 1905 par des Canadiens français. L'intérieur est composé d'une nef flanquée de bas-côtés séparés par des colonnes. L'autel de bois au bout du bas-côté gauche abrite le Saint-Sacrement, avec un tabernacle de bois décoré de pampres ; celui du côté droit est surmonté d'un tableau du mariage de Joseph et de Marie. L'ensemble de ce complexe architectural a été inscrit à la liste du registre national des lieux historiques en 1990. La messe est célébrée tous les jours. Il y a deux messes dominicales, plus une messe anticipée le samedi soir.

The main block is flanked by two wings, faced in brick, with pitched roofs, each six bays wide and three stories high (plus a basement level), which house the Pawtucket City Hall offices. The two principal wings each extend to secondary projecting wings that are two stories high, faced in brick, with flat roofs giving them a more utilitarian character. The north wing houses the central fire station, while the south wing houses the police department headquarters. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 1999, it made a brief appearance in the movie Outside Providence.

Pawtucket Looff Carousel

Das Slater Memorial Park Carousel oder Looff Carousel in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, ist ein historisches Karussell aus dem Jahr 1895. Das Karussell wurde 1895 von Charles Looff gebaut und nach ihm benannt. Es befand sich ursprünglich in dem Vergnügungspark (carnival) Lee Funland in Upstate, New York. 1910 wurde es an seinen heutigen Standort in Slater Park gebracht, wo es bis heute läuft. Das Karussell verfügt über eine North Tonawanda Military Jahrmarktsorgel, sowie 44 stehende Pferde, 6 Menagerie-Tiere (1 Kamel, 3 Hunde, 1 Giraffe, 1 Löwe), und 2 Kutschen (chariots). Geschichte 1910 verpachtete die City of Pawtucket ein kleines Areal südöstlich angrenzend an das Daggett House an John Walker aus Providence. Walker errichtete schnell eine zehnseitige hölzerne Überdachung und ließ das Looff Carousel von New York nach Pawtucket verfrachten. Im Juli 1910 nahm das Karussell den Betrieb in Slater Park auf. Die Einheimischen bezeichneten den Ort als „The Darby Horses“. Am 3. Juli 2010 feierte das Karussell sein hundertjähriges Bestehen.

Pawtucket Times Building

The Pawtucket Times Building is a historic building at 23 Exchange Street in the historic central business district of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It was formerly the home of the Pawtucket Times newspaper. History This five story masonry building was erected to house the facilities of the Pawtucket Times, which was founded in 1885. The building was designed by architects William R. Walker & Son in 1895 and completed in 1896. In 1922 the Times completed a large utilitarian addition facing North Union Street. This was designed by Bellows & Aldrich of Boston. In 1950 the complex was expanded and remodeled to plans by the Dwight Seabury Company, local architects and engineers. In 2007 the owners of the Times, which by then was occupying only the first floor, put the building on the market. It was nearly sold several times and was considered as the new home for the Gamm Theatre. In 2019 the building was acquired by the owner of the Pawtucket Armory and the Times moved out. The new owner never moved ahead with redevelopment plans and the still-vacant building was placed back on the market in 2023. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Architecture The main facade is faced in yellow brick with limestone trim. The first floor is divided into four bays, paired in size with the left one of the pair larger than the right. The entrance occupies the narrow bay on the far right, while the other bays are filled with windows and divided by limestone-faced piers. The next three floors also have four bays, but they are organized in mirror-image pairs, with a larger central bay with tripled windows flanked by an outer bay with a single sash window. The lintel treatments vary by floor; the windows on the fourth floor are round-arched. The fifth level is also organized in mirror-image paired bays, with the central bays each housing a row of four, small round-arch windows, and the outer bays only having two such windows. The building is topped by an elaborate dentillated cornice. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Pawtucket, Rhode Island The Times (Pawtucket) References
Point Judith Light

Point Judith Light is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island as well as the north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. The confluence of two waterways make this area busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous. Historically, even with active lighthouses, there have been many shipwrecks off these coasts. Three light structures have been built on this site. The original 35-foot (11 m) tower, built in 1810, was destroyed by a hurricane in 1815. It was replaced in 1816, by another 35-foot stone tower with a revolving light and ten lamps. The present octagonal granite tower was built in 1856. The upper half of the tower is painted brown and the lower half white to make the light structure a more effective daymark for maritime traffic. In 1871, ship captains asked that Point Judith's fog signal be changed from a horn to whistle. This change distinguished the Point Judith light from the Beavertail Lighthouse, which used a siren to announce fog. A whistle could also be heard more distinctly over the sounds of the surf in the area. Point Judith Light was automated in 1954, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
