HistoryThe building was commissioned by Anne E. Gately (b. 1854), heiress to the Gately furniture and clothing store.[7] She purchased the building which previously stood on this lot, had it demolished, and the current building constructed.[7] Architect Albert H. Humes was superintendent of construction, although it is not known if he also designed the building.[7] When it was opened in 1914, the ground floor was home to four street-level storefronts.[7] By 1935, the Old Colony Cooperative Bank occupied the entire first floor. The building also contained offices of The Providence Journal newspaper and a dental office; the latter being the building's longest tenant, from 1941 to 1986.[7] The building stood vacant and neglected from 1993 to 2015, slowly deteriorating and becoming a detriment to neighborhood development.[4] Conversion to residencesIn 2015, money from the state's 2012 affordable housing bond was used to convert the building to a housing complex with 13 rental units and community space.[4] The renovation restored the building to its original historic appearance.[4] In September 2016, the building was praised by Governor Gina Raimondo and Mayor Donald Grebien as a successful example of how affordable housing bonds can revitalize neighborhoods and create jobs.[4] See also
