Biltmore Hotel Weybosset Street 5 Empire Street The Arcade DATE OF COMPLETION: 1828 65 WEYBOSSET STREET & 130 WESTMINSTER STREET The Providence Arcade was ahead of its time. In 1828, it was the first major commercial building to venture across the Providence River. It was also the third glass arcade ever erected in the country—the others being New York and Philadelphia—and the only arcade of the four built to survive. It was once also one of Providence’s most endangered buildings that today serves as a shining example of a historic building given new life after sitting vacant for years. So, how did it happen? Cyrus Butler, the original builder and proprietor of the Arcade in 1828 (in con- junction with the Arcade Corporation) was a wealthy merchant, philanthropist, and owner of the famous barque George and William that “did an immense busi- ness in the Russian trade…going South and load with cotton for Russia, bringing linen, salt petre, iron, hemp and canvas duck" (Bayles).

  • Volume 4 November, 1966 Number 4 Front Cover
    RHODE ISLAND JEWISH HISTORICAL NOTES VOLUME 4 NOVEMBER, 1966 NUMBER 4 FRONT COVER SARAH GREEN FRANK. 1860-1912 The attractive young lady pictured here was among the earlier native-born Jewish residents of Providence. The federal census of 1850 indicated that the first child of Jewish parentage born in the city (1838) was Isaac, son of Solomon and Miriam Pareira, both of German origin. Their second child, a daughter Mary, was born in 1840. A son was born to another early resident, John Nathan, in 1843. These children would have been quite grown when Sarah Green entered the scene. Sarah was the daughter of Henry and Mary (Miriam) Green. While there is no record of her 'birth in the Providence registry, the census of 1865 records her age as five and her birthplace as Providence. She was the fourth of eleven children, all but the first two of whom were born in Providence. Ah elder sister Adeline's birth was registered in Providence in 1858; two older children were born in Virginia in 1855 and 1857. A twelfth and last child, a son, was stillborn in 1875. Henry Green, the son of Herman and Addie Green, was born in Gnesen, Prussia (now Gniezno, Poland) in 1830. Mary Green, the daughter of Michael and Sarah Gomperts, was born in England in 1835. The national origin of her parents was given in Mary's death return as Danish. Henry Green, Sarah's father, opened a tailor shop at 118 North Main Street in a store under the John Russell House and first lived on Arsenal Lane, where Adeline was born.

It was not only the tallest building in Providence, but its facilities and technical improvements were also a great advance on earlier Providence hotel norms. Following its opening in June 1922, the Biltmore quickly became the gathering place for Rhode Island business, industry, government and social communities. The corridor from Washington Street to the area that now serves as the lobby retains its original configuration and much of its simple detail. This passage- way is significant as a reminder of the original program of the hotel, with its principal public rooms located above street level. The corridor was the only space on street level integrated into the interior design of the hotel. PROVIDENCE BILTMORE HOTEL FALSTAFF ROOM/WASHINGTON STREET ENTRANCE HABS No. RI-49 (Page 2) The Falstaff Room is a barroom dating to the mid-1930's.
