Building for the Future Episode 6 | Historic Preservation

WaterFire Providence was honored to have Clark Schoettle, Executive Director of the Providence Revolving Fund, receive a tour of the WaterFire Arts Center as it is under construction. Clark has been kind enough to speak to the unique history of the building as a part of the US Rubber Corporation, and what the industrial design of the space allows for us to do while moving the building’s functionality into the 21st century.
