If there were ever a day to open the windows for a bit and get outside for a walk this January, today was it!

Took a stroll along Providence Riverwalk — special for its vibrant blend of nature, culture, and urban amenities. But still an opportunity to increase resilience, accessibility and ecology #providence #rhodeisland #providenceriverwalk #woonasquatucketriver

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.
