Providence’s answer to the Flatiron Building
This is the Turk’s Head Building, a more rounded equivalent of New York City’s Flatiron Building(and the smaller iterations in Atlanta and Fort Worth). The 16-storey building in the heart of Providence’s Financial District is one of the city’s earliest skyscrapers, being completed in 1913. The building gained its moniker because of a previous building that stood on the site. That carried a be-turbaned figurehead of a Turk. A reminder of the present building’s origins is the carved likeness above the second-floor entrance.
