And sometimes I spin fire on a two-foot-wide wall with a 7-foot drop into the water all around me. I've slowly worked up the courage to do different more "high-risk" props on here, but, of course, my favorite is always still poi :) #waterfireprovidence #poi #ladiesoftechpoi #firepoi #fireperformer #firedancer #flowarts #circus #providenceri

History

The “Washington Buildings” once occupied the spot where the Hospital Trust Building is now, so we’re looking at what is today the northwest corner of Westminster and Memorial Blvd. Above the building, you can see the tower tops for the original Union Station, so we know this photo was taken before 1896, probably in the late 1880s or early 1890s.
