Summary
[edit]Description2021 Industrial National Bank Building, 111 Westminster Street, Providence.jpg |
English: The Industrial National Bank Building, located at 111 Westminster Street or 55 Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, was built in 1928 as the Industrial Trust Co. Building, and was designed by the New York firm of Walker & Gillette in the Art Deco style, with local architect George Frederick Hall of Martin * Hall. The stepped-back style of skyscraper originated in Manhattan in response to zoning laws which sought to increase the amount of air and light in downtown Manhattan, but when this building was on the drawing board in late 1925 or early 1926, very few building of this type had been built elsewhere in the U.S. The building was intended to be the tallest skyscraper in New England, and when completed it was several stories higher than the recently finished Biltmore Hotel nearby; it is still the tallest building in Providence and Rhode Island and the 28th tallest in New England. The building has been known as the Fleet Bank Tower, the Bank of America Building, and, most recently, 111 Westminster, but locally it's commonly referred to as the Superman Building, because of its visual similarity to the headquarters of the Daily Planet newspaper shown on The Adventures of Superman TV series from the 1950s. The building has been vacant since Bank of America moved out in 2013. An estimate in 2016 was that it would take $115 million to rehabilitate the building. Requests for public financing were rejected in 2017. (Sources: Guide to Providence Architecture, others) |
