History

Providence Wholesale Drug Company Warehouse (1924). This is a two-story, brick industrial building with significant alterations to the appearance of the façade. On this elevation, the large windows originally filled with multi-pane industrial steel sash now have modern fixed 3-light aluminum sash. The central entrance has a replacement glass and aluminum door. The original garage door opening has been filled in with a recessed pedestrian entrance double glass and metal doors. An original parapet has been sheathed in sheet metal. The north and south elevations retain significant evidence of original fenestration. Original 24-light industrial steel sash with 8-light hoppers survive on the ground floor of the north and west elevations. The glass on these ground level windows has been painted red.
