Product Description
by David Brussat (Author), Foreword Andres Duany (Foreword by)
In these historic postcards, author David Brussat chronicles the trials and triumphs of Providence's urban development. Providence has one of the nation's most intact historic downtowns and is one of America's most beautiful cities. The history of architectural change in the city is one of lost buildings, urban renewal plans and challenges to preservation. The Narragansett Hotel, a lost city icon, hosted many famous guests and was demolished in 1960. The American classical renaissance expressed itself in the Providence National Bank, tragically demolished in 2005.
