Providence Fruit and Produce Warehouse Company Building

The Providence Fruit and Produce Warehouse Company Building, constructed in 1929, was a significant distribution center for fresh produce in Rhode Island until its closure in 1998. Located at 6-64 Harris Avenue, this three-story warehouse featured a modest Moderne design and played a key role in the provisioning warehouse district of Providence. Despite its historical importance and listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, the building was controversially demolished in 2008, sparking debates among local citizens and government.
