Description

The relocation of Providence’s rivers was central to the Providence Renaissance. Here we see the Gazebo that is regularly used as a greeting station and sound center for Barnaby Evans’s Waterfire intstallation. Exchange St. Bridge is in the background. The Westin Hotel Tower is on the far left.
